Hello again, thanks to all for the e-mails and the help. I am writing
to explain my problem in as much detail as i can now to help clear up
what i am trying to do and stuff. Also everyone who told me i should
get more training in WO and even those who offered it WO is only a
short term project for me (i will be done with it by friday) so if i
had more time or saw that in the future i would be using it i would
def. take everyone up on their offeres, but i think that i will play
around with them and keep doing so until i am finally able to use them
and their functionality.
I am also saying i am sorry for asking "weak" questions and having such
a minimal knowledge base of WO and asking questions about things that i
do not know much about. I just have one prject to *try* and complete
and if i do it will really help out alot of people and make the site
more easily used.
I have looked at tutrials and videos at connect.apple.com, they all
helped me greatly. But i am going to try and explain my problem one
more time so here goes:
i have a component (a keyword search component), the code basically
looks as follows
************
<WEBOBJECT NAME="KeywordSearchForm">
....
<WEBOBJECT NAME="HasKeywordsSearchesConditional">
<WEBOBJECT NAME="SavedKeywordSearchesPopupButton"></WEBOBJECT>
</WEBOBJECT>
<WEBOBJECT NAME="IsAdminConditional"><b>
<WEBOBJECT NAME="SaveAsLabel"></WEBOBJECT></b>
<WEBOBJECT NAME="SaveAsTextField"></WEBOBJECT></WEBOBJECT></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td ALIGN="LEFT" nowrap>
<WEBOBJECT NAME="HasKeywordsSearchesConditional">
<WEBOBJECT NAME="LoadSearchHyperlink">
<WEBOBJECT NAME="LoadSearchActiveImage"></WEBOBJECT>
</WEBOBJECT>
<WEBOBJECT NAME="IsAdminConditional">
<WEBOBJECT NAME="DeleteSearchHyperlink">
<WEBOBJECT NAME="DeleteSearchActiveImage"></WEBOBJECT>
</WEBOBJECT></WEBOBJECT></WEBOBJECT>
...
<WEBOBJECT NAME="HasKeywordsSearchesConditional">
<WEBOBJECT NAME="LoadSearchHyperlink">
<WEBOBJECT
NAME="LoadSearchActiveImage"></WEBOBJECT></WEBOBJECT></WEBOBJECT>
...
</WEBOBJECT>
*********
I omitted some portions of the code and i the formatting is off (you
will see table tags randomly insterted in their, becuase some of them i
took out to make it easier...
The SearchHyperline that is loaded is as follows:
javascript:document.keywordform.execute.value='search';document.keywordf
orm.submit();
Now what I want to add is the portion that is the text field and the
search image (with corresponding hyperlink that is to be loaded). I
want to add that to another component (The Navigation Bar). I am doing
so, so that the user can do a search from any page they view. I was
under the assumption that I could copy the WO tags from this component
and simply paster them into the other (with the WO tags that open the
KeywordSearchForm class). When I do so and try and search for
something, i get an error, saying that document.keywordform.execute has
no value. I assume that this is becuase the instance of the object is
null becuase the original form is not open. But if i have text in the
original label, and hit search on the second search label i added to
the nav bar, it will search becuase document.keywordform.execute has a
value (but it is not reading from the write text bar that i want it to
read from).
There are two things i can thing of doing to fix it--
1) add stuff from the .wod and .api file of the KeywordSearchForm to
the NavBar
or
2) write some sort of javascript to give the
document.keywordform.execute.value the value placed in the text bar in
that i added in the nav bar.
Does this question/scenario make sense to any of you? If so are there
any options of what you think would be possible to do to fix this
problem or am i stuck becuase of my little knowlegde in WO.
Thanks for everything and do to all of you i have learned a lot about
WO in the past 4 days eventhough it may not be showing right now.
