Dojo: dojo onblur events
- by Jane Wilkie
Hi guys,
I have a form setup with dojo 1.5. I am using a dijit.form.ComboBox and a dijit.form.TextBox
The Combobox has values like "car","bike","motorcycle" and the textbox is meant to be an adjective to the Combobox.
So it doesn't matter what is in the Combobox but if the ComboBox does have a value then something MUST be filled in the TextBox. Optionally, if nothing is in the ComboBox, then nothing can be in the TextBox and that is just fine. In fact if something isn't in the Combobox then nothing MUST be in the text box.
In regular coding I would just use an onBlur event on the text box to go to a function that checks to see if the ComboBox has a value. I see in dojo that this doesn't work... Code example is below...
Vehicle:
<input dojoType="dijit.form.ComboBox"
store="xvarStore"
value=""
searchAttr="name"
name="vehicle_1"
id="vehicle_1"
/>
Descriptor:
<input type="text"
dojoType="dijit.form.TextBox"
value=""
class=lighttext
style="width:350px;height:19px"
id="filter_value_1"
name="filter_value_1"
/>
My initial attempt was to add an onBlur within the Descriptor's <input> tag but discovered that that doesn't work.
How does Dojo handle this? Is it via a dojo.connect parameter? Even though in the example above the combobox has an id of "vehicle_1" and the text box has an id of "filter_value_1", there can be numerous comboboxes and textboxes numbering sequentially upward. (vehicle_2, vehicle_3, etc)
Any advice or links to resources would be greatly appreciated. Janie
