Greetings all,
OK, I have generally been successfully able to avoid using javascript directly because of the wonders of WO and . . . um . . . Wonder. However, now I have an issue that seems to scream out for an obvious answer.
I have a WOPopUpButton for the user to select a preferred phone number among "Home," "Work" and "Mobile" which will be saved in the db as a number (1, 2 or 3). I want to have this popup dynamically generated based on whether the appropriate phone number fields in the UI have values other than and empty string.
So this all works using an AjaxObserveField surrounding the phone number fields in the UI . . . as long as the user presses enter or return when done editing the phone number field. I would like it also to work when the user tabs out of the field to another field.
I could use javascript to manage such a list directly in javascript, because I just found such a thing via google. This has the benefit of avoiding going back to the server. However, I DO need the selection from the popup to be sent back to the WO app when the AjaxSubmitButton's action is called. I am quite the javascript novice (obviously). I was trying to think of ways to use onblur or something but I can't seem to get it called by the WO app. It occurred to me that this sort of thing seems common enough that there may be a best practice for doing this sort of thing, and possibly a fabulous Wonder mechanism I haven't seen.
Any suggestions? Best practices?
