Re: openURL makes widget lose window.widget functionality

oops! that would make sense, sorry.

here is the HTML code that is launching the widget.openURL, it is a basic form used to search my site.

<form name="SearchForm">
<input type="search" id="searchText">
<input type="submit" onclick="getSearch()" value="Search" id="mysearch">
&nbsp;
</form>


and this is the javascript that handles everything.

function getSearch () {
              if(window.widget)
              {

getUser();
var theURL = "http://www.mysite.com/ file_search.php?action=file&text=" + document.getElementById ("searchText").value;
widget.openURL(theURL);
}
}

function wrapURL (theURL) {
   if (window.widget) {
      theURL = "javascript:widget.openURL('" + theURL + "');";
   }
   return theURL;
}

function getUser ()
{
if(window.widget)
{
widget.setPreferenceForKey(document.getElementById ("username").value, "username");
widget.setPreferenceForKey(document.getElementById ("password").value, "password");
}

document.getElementById("feedcontainer").innerHTML = " ";
if(window.widget){
if(widget.preferenceForKey("username")){
document.getElementById('getinfo').style.display = 'block';
document.getElementById ('enterPassword').style.display='none';
document.getElementById ('feedcontainer').style.display='block';
var url = 'http://www.mysite.com/ user_data_dashboard.php?username=' + widget.preferenceForKey ("username") + '&password=' + widget.preferenceForKey("password");
importXML(url,'parseRSS');

} else {
document.getElementById ('enterPassword').style.display='block';
document.getElementById ('feedcontainer').style.display='none';
}
}
}
if(window.widget)
{
widget.onfocus = getUser;
}
if(window.widget)
{
widget.onshow = getUser;
}

var flipShown = false;
var animation = {duration:0, starttime:0, to:1.0, now:0.0, from:0.0, firstElement:null, timer:null};
function mousemove (event)
{
if (!flipShown)

    front.style.display='none';        // hide the front
    back.style.display='block';        // show the back


if (window.widget)
setTimeout ('widget.performTransition();', 0); // and flip the widget over
}

// Perform the flip from back to front, refresh content under the assumption
// that the configuration has changed.

function hidePrefs()
{
var front = document.getElementById('front');
var back = document.getElementById('back');
var flipcircle = document.getElementById('fliprollie');
if (window.widget)
widget.prepareForTransition('ToFront'); // freezes the widget and prepares it for the flip back to the front

    flipcircle.style.display='none';
    back.style.display='none';            // hide the back
    front.style.display='block';        // show the front





if (window.widget)
setTimeout ('widget.performTransition();', 0); // and flip the widget back to the front

    getUser();
}



a little long winded, but basically ive narrowed it down to something happening when the getSearch function is called.

Thanks

You would need to sample the widget for us to tell what is happening.

Thanks,

i have a widget that displays some xml data from a website. everything works
fine, until i leave the widget using widget.openURL . when you return to the
widget it seems to lose all javascript functionality that used the widget.
object.

widget.openURL no longer works, the flip transitions no longer work, and my
preference keys are gone. basically all functions that use widget.anything no
longer work.

anyone have any idea what is happening?

andy
