Question

I have an EditBox control in a repeat control. Its iteration formula is:

return 5;

It is successfully displaying 4 edit boxes (the starting index is set to 1).

In SSJS, how can I get the value of the nth Edit Box?

Answer 1

You could set a sessionScope variable (or any scope variable) on the onchange event of the edit box and then in your SSJS reference the sessionScope variable. Here is some sample code, the bottom bit just shows your sessionScope variables on the page.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xp:repeat id="repeat1" rows="30" value="#{javascript:5}"
    indexVar="rptIndex">

    <xp:inputText id="inputText1">

    <xp:eventHandler event="onchange" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
        <xp:this.action>
            <xp:executeScript>
                <xp:this.script><![CDATA[#{javascript:sessionScope['text'+rptIndex] = getComponent("inputText1").getValue()}]]></xp:this.script>
            </xp:executeScript>
        </xp:this.action></xp:eventHandler></xp:inputText>

</xp:repeat>



<xp:table styleClass="debug">
<xp:tr>
<th>Variable Name</th>
<th>Variable Content</th>
</xp:tr>
<xp:repeat id="varRepeat" rows="30" value="#{javascript:sessionScope.keySet();}" var="scopeData">
<xp:tr>
<xp:td>
<xp:text escape="true" id="varName" value="#{javascript:scopeData}" />
</xp:td>
<xp:td>
<xp:text escape="true" id="varValue" value="#{javascript:sessionScope.get(scopeData)}" />
</xp:td>
</xp:tr>
</xp:repeat>
</xp:table> 
</xp:view>
