Hi,
I've hit another snag on a new dynamic element. I'm trying to build a split
view.
I would like the components to look like this:
<wo:SplitView mode = "horizontal">
<wo:SplitViewSection>
// whatever
</wo:SplitViewSection>
<wo:SplitViewSection center = "true">
// whatever
</wo:SplitViewSection>
</wo:SplitView>
I'm at the point where I've got it properly creating the javascript and html.
But I believe the context element ids are out-of-whack because in my example
component I have a form in the first column and when it gets submitted it does
not call the assigned action.
My appendChildrenToResponse method looks something like this:
appendChildrenToResponse(WOResponse response, WOContext) {
// add the web resources to response
// write some html
if(hasChildren) {
context.appendZeroElementIDComponent();
loop through children
//write some html
child.appendToResponse
context.incrementLastElementIDComponent();
//write some html
end loop
context.deleteLastElementIDComponent();
}
// write some html
}
Any guess on what I'm doing wrong?
