Checkboxgroups and clientside script

Category: Dojo and Client Side JavaScript
Platform: All
Release: 8.5.2
Role: Developer
Tags: clientside checkbox checkboxgroup
Replies: 1

I have two fields on an xpage..one an edit box (named wordstring1 which is used so I can make sure the alerts are working) and a checkboxgroup control called checkBoxGroup1.

The wordstring control generates this source:

<xp:inputText
                            value="#{dominoDocument1.wordstring}" id="wordstring1"
                            style="width:359.0px">
                        </xp:inputText>

which generates this source:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The checkboxgroup control generates this source:

<xp:td><xp:checkBoxGroup id="checkBoxGroup1" layout="pageDirection" value="#{dominoDocument1.DBChoice}" style="font-weight:bold">
                        <xp:selectItems id="selectItems1">
                            <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:sessionScope.SearchDBs}]]></xp:this.value>    //note that I populate the sessionScope in the beforepageload, and that it is dynamic as to the number of entries
                        </xp:selectItems>

</xp:checkBoxGroup></xp:td>

which generates

<td colspan="2" style="width:277.0px"><fieldset id="view:_id1:_id26:checkBoxGroup1" style="font-weight:bold" class="xspCheckBox"><table class="xspCheckBox" style="font-weight:bold">

        <tr>
<td>
<label><input name="view:_id1:_id26:checkBoxGroup1" value="a) NOTEbookS Catalog" type="checkbox"> a) NOTEbookS Catalog</input></label></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
<td>
<label><input name="view:_id1:_id26:checkBoxGroup1" value="b) NOTEbookS Serials" type="checkbox"> b) NOTEbookS Serials</input></label></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>

<td>
<label><input name="view:_id1:_id26:checkBoxGroup1" value="c) Catboat Knowledgebase" type="checkbox"> c) Catboat Knowledgebase</input></label></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
<td>
<label><input name="view:_id1:_id26:checkBoxGroup1" value="d) Competitive Intelligence" type="checkbox"> d) Competitive Intelligence</input></label></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
<td>

<label><input name="view:_id1:_id26:checkBoxGroup1" value="e) NOTEbookS Research (General)" type="checkbox"> e) NOTEbookS Research (General)</input></label></td>
        </tr>
</table></fieldset></td>

The first alert pops up fine with the results of "abcd".(as it should)

The second alert pops up as "undefined".

The third alert doesn't do anything.

Am I missing something, or is there a problem in the way the interpreter handles getElementById's for arrays?

Has this been resolved in 8.5.3?

Re: Checkboxgroups and clientside script

If the third event doesn't fire an alert box(?), it sounds like there has been a JavaScript error on the page.

If you use firefox/firebug, check the console for any errors.

If you use Internet Explorer > 7, press F12, and check the script tab for errors.
