I have a name picker attached to the input but also want to allow type-ahead in a second field attached to the name picker, and then add the selected entry in the type-ahead control to the dojo name text box control.
In the typeahead onchange event, I can get the value of it and I can get the values in the Name Text Box control, but each entry in the NameTextBox is a spanned link like this:
<SPAN tabIndex=0 val="**abbreviatedNotesName**"><A class=lotusFilter tabIndex=-1 href="javascript:;">**commonNotesName**<SPAN class=lotusClose>x</SPAN></A></SPAN>
Do I need to re-write the innerHTML of the NameTextBox, and guess at the commonname from the typeahead result? Or, is there a better way? Thanks for any help/suggestions.
Here's the code:
<div id="copyToRow">
<div class="namePickerContainer">
<xe:namePicker id="namePicker1" for="fld_copyto_recipients">
<xe:this.dataProvider>
<xe:namePickerAggregator>
<xe:this.dataProviders>
<xe:dominoNABNamePicker addressBookSel="all"
nameList="peopleAndGroups">
</xe:dominoNABNamePicker>
<xe:dominoViewNamePicker labelColumn="$1"
viewName="($VIMPeople)" databaseName="#{javascript:viewScope.personalNAB;}"
label="#{javascript:viewScope.personalNABTitle;}">
</xe:dominoViewNamePicker>
</xe:this.dataProviders>
</xe:namePickerAggregator>
</xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:namePicker>
