Combo Box Ids

Post by ekidhardt »

Is there a function that will tell me the id of the combo box that was clicked? Like pui.currentDateField, but for combo boxes?

do you mean in an onclick event? Or, when are you planning to retrieve this?

What do you plan to use it for?

Hey Scott -

Here's what I'm trying to do:

On mobile devices, style the option box in a specific way - I'd like it to take up most of the screen (done with the -combo-options class) and add a label to it so the user knows which field the options are attached to.

I need to know the input field that's connected to the option box that's being displayed.

I'm lost. In your first message you said "the id of the combo box that was clicked". Now you're saying you want to style all combo boxes on mobile devices. Are you saying that you only want to style them after they are clicked?

The different events that fire have different information available to them. That's why I asked when you were running this code? Is it in an onclick event? I never got a response to that, so I'm not sure if I can suggest that info, or what else to suggest. Can you please explain WHEN you are running this styling?

Doesn't matter to me - I can run it onclick or at time of render. Which would you recommend?

I don't feel like I'm in a good position to recommend something, here, since I'm not familiar with your application.

If you want it to happen when someone clicks the item with a mouse, then do it onclick. If you want it to happen when the screen loads, do it onload (just after render).

Okay - if I'm going to add the label onclick, how do I associate the popup with the clicked combo box?

get(id).comboBoxWidget.getBox() returns the input box element, is there something like this that gets me the popup element?

Getting anywhere on adding a function that returns the Combo Box dropdown?
