Question

I’ve got a function:

function saveToJ(feature) {
    var str = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON(out_options).write(feature, true);
    str = str.replace(/,/g, ', ');
    strObj = Ext.decode(str);
    if(strObj.properties.name == null) {
        ...
    } else {
        if(!win) {
            win = new Ext.Window({
                title : "Edit",
                items : [editPanel],
                closeAction : 'hide'
            });
        }
        win.show();
        }
    }
}

and a panel:

var editPanel = new Ext.form.FormPanel({
    width : 400,
    defaults : {
        width : 230
    },
    defaultType : 'textfield',

    items : [{
        fieldLabel : 'Name',
        name : 'name',
        allowBlank : false,
    }],

    buttons : [editSaveBtn, editDeleteBtn]

});

what i want to do is to use strObj.properties.name as a value for the field on my panel.
but value: strObj.properties.name gives an error that strObj is undefined.

strObj is declared outside of the saveToJ function.

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

it was simple, just use:

editPanel.getForm().findField('name').setValue(strObj.properties.name);
