trying to use WASelectTag and its not working....

Why isn't this working?

Basically I'm trying to let people browse (read only) the code for the
page component they are looking at, but its not working. The callback is
never called.

#createText: value
"obtain source code for selected method"
self sourceCode: self sourceCodeAt: value

#renderContentOn: html
"..."
html text: 'source code'.

html select
list: (self class selectors);
selected: #renderContentOn: ;
callback: [:value | self createText: value ].
html break.

html textArea
value: self sourceCode;
rows: 30;
columns: 60.
html break.

RE: trying to use WASelectTag and its not working....

Do you expect it to be called on change or on form submit? If the
former, you need #beSubmitOnChange (or use proper JS library to wire
this event), if the latter, please post a complete example of a form.

Re: trying to use WASelectTag and its not working....

Hi Lawson,

Do you expect it to be called on change or on form submit? If the
former, you need #beSubmitOnChange (or use proper JS library to wire
this event), if the latter, please post a complete example of a form.

html select
list: (self class selectors);
selected: #renderContentOn: ;
callback: [:value | self createText: value ].
html break.

As Boris says, your callback will only be evalulated when the form is submitted. So you need to add a form and a submit button or a call to #beSubmitOnChange. Something like:

html form:[

html select

list: (self class selectors);

selected: #renderContentOn: ;

beSubmitOnChange;

callback: [:value | self halt ].

or instead of #beSubmitOnChange use:

html submitButton with: 'lookup'.

inside the form

Re: trying to use WASelectTag and its not working....

beSubmitOnChange; doesn't work, but html submitButton with: 'lookup'. does, thanks.

Its working, but it would be more elegant if it used beSubmitOnChange.

Still missing some syntax thing apparently.
==================
html form:[
    html text: 'source code: '.
    html select
        list: (self class selectors);
        selected: self codeSelector ;
        beSubmitOnChange;
        callback: [:value | self codeSelector: value ].
        "html submitButton with: 'lookup'."
    html break.
    html textArea
        value: (self class sourceCodeAt: self codeSelector);
        rows: 30;
        columns: 60.
]

Re: trying to use WASelectTag and its not working....

Serializing the select box on the change event is very simple when you use JQuery:

html select
list: (self class selectors);

        selected: self codeSelector ;
   onChange: (html jQuery ajax serializeThisWithHidden);
        callback: [:value | self codeSelector: value ].

Regards.

Your code with #beSubmitOnChange works very nicely here once I add a
guard for a nil codeSelector. Can you provide us with a full fileout
of your code?

Cheers
