I am having a difficult time using the "select" method in the onInit
callback.
I am creating an array of items and then calling select as follows:
onInit: function(finderObj) {
var itemsToSelect = ["href/item1", "href/item2"];
$(this).finder("select", itemsToSelect);
}
When this code is run, I get the following error in the Firebug
console:
"uncaught exception: jQuery Finder: Target element does not exist"
I then added the same code that is on the finder demo for the "Select
Item" button, modified it a little to parse a comma separated list,
pasted "href/item1, href/item2" into the dialog and the correct items
were selected.
Any idea of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Doug
