Spin events, and poping up messages

[Pauly]

Hi All,

Does anybody have an example of the following please? I could really use some guidance -

I want to refresh the page when the user changes the value of a spin control immediately... For example, the user clicks on the spin control and it increments from 1 to two... I then want to (immediately) refresh the page using the new value. So far, I've only got it to work if the user clicks outside of the spin control.

Also... How can I pop-up a message? I know it should be a simple thing, but popping up a message box (well... I guess it would be called a pop up form?) like 'Please enter a number between one and a squillion' with an ok button on it is eluding me,

Thanks for any advice
Pauly

Pauly,

Hi there.

Haven't done anything much with the spinners, but for the second, easy answer!

p_web.Popup('whatever you want')

That needs to go in an embed that makes sense. Like a button click, or form validate or .. something that makes sense in terms of WHERE the javascript that p_web.Popup() creates is going to be loaded and run (thinking in terms of the web page, not desktop page).

Hope that helps.

In clarion-speak you're getting action on "event:accepted" but you'd like it on "event:newselection".

Unfortunately the Spin controls you're seeing are provided by the browser, on a "number" field, they're not generic across all browsers. I know jQueryUI are working on a spin control though - and I'm guessing when that's done you'll have some more consistency, and more control, over the spin box.

cheers
