You want to use targets="" . Elements = "" is strictly for pure html
elements and not tapestry components.
If you use the 4.1.2-SNAPSHOT version it will also automatically figure out
which form your targeted components are attached to and submit that as part
of the event so that you can do things like get the current value of the
field.
4.1.2 should be released very soon, just holding out for ognl stability.

I am attempting to use @EventListener to submit the value of a TextField
onChange. So, I have an input defined:
<input jwcid="myField" value="ognl:text"
displayName="Text" />
In the page class I have:
@Component(bindings = {"validators=validators:required"})
public abstract TextField getMyField();
@EventListener(events={"onchange"}, elements="myField")
public void testEvent(IRequestCycle cycle)
{
logger.debug("LOOKHERE... " + getText());
}
But I'll be darned if any of the events are firing.
To rule out other problems, I copied the "big brother is watching"
sample from:
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry4.1/ajax/eventlistener.html
to the same page, and it works just fine..

com.starpoint.instihire.web.tapestry.page.Test - User clicked on x/y
coordinates 159/326
Am I barking up the wrong tree? My final goal is to have a dropdown
update it's contents based on the text in the TextField, but until I can
dynamically get it's value I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
