Hello All
I am slowly working my way through Squeak and Seaside using "An Introduction to Seaside" and the Seaside examples as my learning guides. I have come across an issue which I don't understand, and I am hoping someone could enlighten me as to what is going wrong. The two methods below are called by MLHeadDataModelView>>renderContentOn:, with MLHeadDataModelView>>renderCompanyTextInputOn: resulting in a MessageNotUnderstood: WARenderCanvas>>value: error. The instance methods are: MLHeadDataModelView>>renderCompanyTextInputOn: "This method generates the 'MessageNotUnderstood: WARenderCanvas>>value:' error" self renderLabel: 'Company Name: ' input: [ html textInput; value: self headDataModelView companyName; callback: [:value | self headDataModelView companyName: value]] output: self headDataModelView companyName on: html. MLHeadDataModelView>>renderEmployeeTextInputOn: self renderLabel: 'Employee Name: ' input: [ html textInput setFocus; value: self headDataModelView employeeName; callback: [:value | self headDataModelView employeeName: value]] output: self headDataModelView employeeName on: html. MLHeadDataModelView>>initialize initialize super initialize. self headDataModelView: MLHeadDataModel new. I don't get any error messages if I use the on:of: style, but not sure what exact difference or benefits are between the two. MLHeadDataModelView>>renderCompanyTextInputOn: renderCompanyTextInputOn: html self renderLabel: 'Company Name: ' input: [ html textInput on: #companyName of: self headDataModelView] output: self headDataModelView companyName on: html. MLHeadDataModelView>>renderEmployeeTextInputOn: renderEmployeeTextInputOn: html self renderLabel: 'Employee Name: ' input: [ html textInput on: #employeeName of: self headDataModelView] output: self headDataModelView employeeName on: html. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hi Adrian,
I haven't tried your code myself, but a brief visual scan suggests at least one problem that I've identified below... On Aug 30, 2008, at 9:32 PM, r00t uk wrote:
In Smalltalk the semantics of a cascade (indicated by the semi-colon) means that the following #value: message is being sent to the receiver of the last message. The last message is #setFocus, and the receiver of the #setFocus was the object returned by the #textInput message. Thus, #value: is being sent to a WATextInputTag (or similar object), not to the WARenderCanvas (which is probably what you really wanted).
