Question

combobox value not getting updated on a Windows-7 machine

Hello adepters,


I have a weird problem that I experienced on a Windows-7 machine, I ran the same code on Windows-vista and it works.

I have a comobox with listitems, if I tab over the combobox and select the item by arrows without hitting enter the value of the comobobox doesn't get updated with the selected item. If I hit enter after selecting the item or use the mouse, the value of the combobox gets updated. On windows vista, the value gets updated whether I hit enter or not.

Did anybody experienced a similar problem?

Below is the XUI box:





<window title="Single" question&quot;=" orient="vertical" modal="false" align="end">
<script type="application/x-javascript" ev:event="WindowLoad">
var dialog = Application.event.target;
var xuiDoc = dialog.dialogView.document;
</script>

<textbox width="200" resize="none"><value id="nameValue"></value></textbox>

<combobox id="typeCombo" type="dropdownlist" width="120" resize="none">
<listitem label="string"/">
<listitem label="date"/">
</combobox>

<button label="type" value&quot;=" type="accept">
<script type="application/x-javascript" ev:event="domactivate">
print(xuiDoc.getElementById("typeCombo").getAttribute("value"));
dialog.close();
</script>
</button>


</window>

    Supposedly, only Arbortext 5.4 is certified to work on Windows 7. What version of Editor are you using?

    That might be your problem. Someone else more knowledgeable in this area would know more. Other than suggesting that you try this with 5.4 on Windows 7, I have no other comments.

    I see this behavior in 5.3 m110 on Windows XP.

    I'm trying to look up the call (if there was one). Has anyone figured out
    how to query your calls by providing a keyword? It looks like the support
    system upgrade removed that functionality. Did it move move it and I just
    don't know where it is?

    My call reports 5.4 m030 contains the fix.

    This update advisor can sometimes be useful:

    If you know when a particular issue was fixed, then it gets you to the related TAN and SPR.

    In this case: TAN 145690 ( ) and SPR 1837619 (
