getproperty in 4.1

16 November, 2007 - 17:17 — ShawnRisk

I am having trouble with the getproperty in 4.1, and not sure how to fix this. I tried a number of different things, but never is working. Below is just one example of the problem, this happens with every getProperty I have on my website. If you can tell me how to fix this that would be good.

This is what I get in the debugger:

API: Invalid argument type in call to API function "getProperty", argument 1: expected "[controller]", but was "[object]". anonymous()

function anonymous(vars) {

    return bb.getProperty(document.getElementById("user_name"), "value");

}

getProperty need a Controller object

Hello ShawnRisk,

In many backbase functions, you must use a controller object instead of a DOM object. A example:

Get a DOM object : document.getElementById("user_name");
Get a backbase Controller : bb.document.getElementById("user_name");

Your code must get a backbase controller :

function anonymous(vars) {

    return bb.getProperty(bb.document.getElementById("user_name"), "value");

}

Thanks.

Thanks for the information, this worked out. I noticed that I needed this for both of my variables, and forget that.

I understand what you mean about DOM object and backbase controller now.
