Hi All, I am trying to send data entered into the contenteditable feature of a row object using a Web2py AJAX call, and it's not working.
The problem is illustrated below in a sample View file with two Ajax calls. The first call, from the manual, uses an input form variable and it works fine. In second call I tried passing the Name of the editable content object to the AJAX call, but it does not work. In short, I want to send document.getElementById('q').innerHTML as the data parameter of the ajax function - how is this done? I tried various combinations of dict strings {'key':'value'} as the data parameter but nothing seemed to work. Note: the controller data function looks for both r and q request.vars {{extend 'layout.html'}} <div id="target"></div> <p>Ajax call example from the manual works perfectly.. the data appears in the target Above.</p> <form> <INPUT type="text" id="r" name = "r" value="web4py"/> <INPUT type="button" value="submit" onclick="ajax('{{=URL('data')}}',['r'],'target');"/> </form> <hr> <table border="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <TR> <td COLSPAN="1" align="right" BGCOLOR="#EAACE1"> <b> This AJAX call does not work:</b> </td> <td onfocusout="ajax('{{=URL('data')}}',['q'],'target');" contenteditable="true" id="q" name="q" COLSPAN="1" > ajaxdata </td> <td COLSPAN="1"> how do I pass the contenteditable data M to the AJAX function? </td> </tr> </table> Thank you kindly -Rob -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
