onChange problem

[Jeff]

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a problem with onChange. The tag looks like:

<input:text bean = "" name="X" label="Y"
attributesText="onChange=\"clear()\""> </input:text>

if i replace, onChange with onBLur, the call works. when i try using
onchange without the attributesText it tells me onchange is not
supported by the top level domain. if I change the start of the tag
to <input type="text" blah blah blah and drop the attributesText, it
works...but that messes up the format of the UI.

Any ideas on how to get onChange working?

Thanks,
Jeff

I'm having a problem with onChange. The tag looks like:

attributesText="onChange=\"clear()\""> </input:text>

Strange, what is that markup above? It is not HTML or XHTML which are
usually the markup languages script is embedded in in this newsgroup.

<input type="text" onchange="clear()" name="X">
is the proper HTML markup with a client side onchange event handler set,
now you need some script section to define the function
<script type="text/javascript">
function clear () {
// clear body goes here
}
</script>
and depening on what that function is supposed to do a parameter
function clear (element) { ... }
could help with the call to the function changed to
clear(this)

Thanks for the reply. My only issue is that I can't use the <input
type="text" markup because it messes up the format. Is there a way to
do onchange with <input:text ? I'm not sure what the name of that
markup is, but it is the one im stuck using.

Thanks in advance for any help!
