dhtmlxwindow and content Id

Hi,

I would like to change the window content with prototype and symfony framework.

But if i look with firebug i cannot find any content ID.

I need to give an div id to prototype and i cannot add a div in my template because the submit form is itself.

If I add a div container after the submit i will have a div container in the div container.

How can i do ?

thanx
Olivier

Hi,

How did you attach the content to the window ?

If you used attachObject method, you passed the object id as a parameter:

w.attachObject(some_id);

So, this id is the id of the window content.

I use mywindow.attachURL(myurl);

this url give me a form and i want to update the content of the window by clicking on the submit button ( form validation with symfony framework)

I use prototype for that on my form but i have to give it a div id.

Best regards,

Try this:

// attached form

<form ...>
    <input type="hidden" id="divId" value="">
</form>

// main script

if (_isIE) {
    dhxWins.window(id)._frame.contentWindow.document.getElementById("divId").value = ...
} else {
    dhxWins.window(id)._frame.contentDocument.getElementById("divId").value = ...
}

It's difficult to use what you just gave me because I use a php framework and I have some ajax function inside it.

Example :

<?php echo form_remote_tag(array(
    'update'   => 'WINDOW_CONTENT_DIV',
    'url'      => 'item/add',
)) ?>
  <label for="item">Item:</label>
  <?php echo input_tag('item') ?>
  <?php echo submit_tag('Add') ?>
</form>
It would be great if the content div in a window could have an ID (for example the window name)
.
Maybe it s possible to add it in the code easily ?

Best regards,

What about passing div id to attachURL() as a param and extract it in php using $_GET[]?

main script >>
var divId = ...;
dhxWins.window(id).attachURL("phpscript.php?divId="+divId);

phpscript.php >>
$divId = $_GET["divId"];

Yes, but the problem is that I need an ID in the content div of the window because prototype.js need a div (id) for ajax and now i cannot give it one.

I think the best way would be to be able to add an ID on the content div of a dhtmlxwindow component because the php framework is very difficult to modify...

Do you think it s possible to add an ID ?

ok but i use attachURL with ajax

Your sample. I looked with firebug

<div class="dhtmlxWindowMainContent" style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px;">
</div>

When i click on the "attach url" button , this div seems updated.

So i would need an ID on this div I guess like that:

<div class="dhtmlxWindowMainContent" id="MY_ID" style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px;">
</div>

maybe i am making a mistake , but i think that AttachURL with ajax (true) use this div.

No ?

Right, ajax-load use div.
To set any id value to <div class="dhtmlxWindowMainContent"> you can use following codeline:
dhxWins.window(id)._content.childNodes[2].id = "MY_ID";
