I've implemented the cancel button for the Member status row of the committer display.
When the (cancel) button is pressed, the canx function is invoked. What I want to do here is to call dblclick on the div element so the inline form disappears with no action. But how can I find the HTMLDivElement to call dblclick on? I cannot find the relationship between the inline form and the div that contains the dblclick event. # # Render and edit a person's member status # class PersonMemberStatus < Vue def render committer = @@person.state.committer owner = @@person.props.auth.id == committer.id _div.row data_edit: ('memstat' if @@person.props.auth.secretary or owner) do _div.name 'Member status' mydiv = this if committer.member.status _div.value do _span committer.member.status def canx(event) console.log('canx called from Cancel button') console.log('event: ' + event + ' mydiv: ' + mydiv) console.log('preventing default') event.preventDefault() console.log('was the default prevented? ' + event.defaultPrevented) console.log(' mydiv.edit: ' + mydiv.edit) mydiv.edit = nil console.log(' mydiv.name: ' + mydiv.name) console.log(' mydiv.document: ' + mydiv.document) end if @@edit == :memstat opt = { year: 'numeric', month: 'long' } # Suggested date dod = Date.new.toLocaleDateString('en-US', opt) _form.inline method: 'post' do # Cancel this form _button.btn.btn_primary 'Cancel', onClick: canx # These actions are only for the person's own use if (owner) if committer.member.status.include? 'Active' if committer.forms['emeritus_request'] _button.btn.btn_primary 'rescind emeritus request', name: 'action', value: 'rescind_emeritus' else _button.btn.btn_primary 'request emeritus status', name: 'action', value: 'request_emeritus' end end end # These actions are only for secretary's use if (@@person.props.auth.secretary) if committer.member.status.include?
