Hi, I just started learning prototype, and I encountered a problem while trying Event.observe(window,'load',func); When I try to run the code below, I get null for formObject. Shouldn't the class be created only after the body loads ? It behaves as though, the function creates an instance of the class Login even before the window load runs. How can I run this code correctly ? My aim is to make the Login class listen to the submit event of the siginForm and retrieve the values in the form.
//======== login.html ==================== <html> <title> Hello world</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="newClass.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> Event.observe(window, 'load',function(){ new Login('signinForm').register(); }, false); </script> <body> <form name="signinForm" method="POST" action=""> UserName :<input type="text" name="username" id="username"/><br/> Password :<input type="text" name="password" id="password"/><br/> <input type="submit" value="Submit form"/> </form> </body> </html> //=======newClass.js================= var Login = Class.create({ initialize: function(formName){ alert(formName); this.formObject = $(formName); alert(this.formObject); this.uName=this.formObject.username; this.pass=this.formObject.password; }, loginValidate: function(){ alert("Login action performed. username => "+this.uName.value +"password => "+this.pass.value); }, register: function(){ this.formObject.observe('submit',this.loginValidate); } }); --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
