I was trying to do the advanced tutorial of creating widgets, the quicksearch one, while i ran into some trouble. For some unapparent reason it will not show the results. When i look into my FireBug it tells me that the query of getUsers is doing its job as i do get the right answer back, but for some reason it looks like it that showResults is never called? Did anyone else try the tutorial yet and encounter such a problem? The weird thing is that i did have it working at some point, ill try to figure out where things are going wrong in the mean time. Update 1: Thanks for the tips on how to debug the widget. It looks like i found the problem, when i use dojo.empty(this.inputNode) rather then dojo.empty(this.inputNode.innerHtml) it works. I am not sure about this, but it looked like it that when using the later version it kept on clearing the list and thus the list would not show any results. getUsers : function() { var inputString = mx.parser.escapeQuotesInString(this.inputNode.value); var xPathConstraint = "[contains(" + this.searchAttribute + ", '" + inputString + "')]"; mx.processor.getObjectsByXPath("//" + this.searchEntity + xPathConstraint, {}, dojo.hitch(this, this.showResults)); }, /* Display the search results in a list*/ showResults : function(objArray) { dojo.empty(this.listNode.innerHTML); for(var i = 0; i < objArray.length; i++) { var object = objArray[i]; var attribute = object.getAttribute(this.searchAttribute); this.listNode.appendChild(mendix.dom.li(attribute)); } if(objArray.length == 0) { this.listNode.appendChild(mendix.dom.li(this.txtNothingFound)); } }, /* init the search bar */ actSetupSearchBar : function() { this.buttonNode.value = this.txtSearch; this.connect(this.buttonNode, "onclick", dojo.hitch(this, this.getUsers)); }, uninitialize : function() { }
