I have a problem with the textbox element in XUL unable to set new values to its VALUE property as it changes (As I call the onchange event)
Here's my code snippet in XUL File
<hbox>
<label value="LABEL"/>
<textbox id="txtBoxLabel" onchange="setTheNewValues()"/>
</hbox>
<hbox>
<button label="NEW TEST" onclick="setElemProps()>
This line should be the following:
| <button id="button1" label="NEW TEST" onclick="setElemProps()"/>
</hbox>
function setTheNewValues() {
tempNewValue =
> document.getElementById("txtBoxLabel").getAttribute("value");Change line this to:
| tempNewValue = document.getElementById("txtBoxLabel").value;alert(tempNewValue); document.getElementById("button1").setAttribute("label",tempNewValue); }
The problem is the VALUE property in TEXTBOX stays the same and does not change. Is there any refresh knid of mechanism where the moment I change
> the VALUE in TEXTBOX, the LABEL in BUTTON(button1) changes.
Yeah, for some reason the property "value" doesn't match the attribute. I think this is because you use |value| in the markup to set the initial contents of the <textbox>, so the attribute has to stay the same in order for you to obtain the initial value once the contents of the <textbox> have changed. Use the property instead, as shown in the code I gave you above.
Please Help me in this matter as its critical for a project.
Let me know if you have any further problems with this.
