Textbox Input Control Examples

This example shows how to configure a textbox input control that takes the user entry and opens a JSP in the content frame.

• Name: SearchTitle
• Href: emxSampleTitleSearch.jsp?mode=quickSearch
• Settings:
• Input Type=textbox
• Target Location=content
• Action Label=Find
• Registered Suite=Framework

See Parameters for Toolbar Link Command Objects and Settings for Toolbar Link Command Objects for details.

When a user enters text in the box and clicks the Find button, the content frame loads the page emxSampleTitleSearch.jsp to show the results of whatever processing is included in the JSP.

This example shows how to configure a textbox input control that takes the user entry and opens a JSP in a popup window.

• Name: SearchTitle
• Href: emxSampleTitleSearchResultsDialog.jsp
• Label: "QuickSearch for:"
• Settings:
• Input Type=textbox
• Target Location=popup
• Action Label=Find
• Registered Suite=Framework

This example includes a Label, "QuickSearch for", that displays to the left of the text box to give the user a better idea of the function of the textbox. When the user enters text in the box and clicks Find, the JSP opens a new window and loads the results of the processing.

This example shows a textbox command that uses listHidden as a Target Location.

• Name: filterTitle
• Href: emxSampleTitleSearchProcess.jsp
• Label: Value
• Settings:
• Input Type=textbox
• Target Location=listHidden
• Action Label=Filter
• Registered Suite=Framework

With the label "Value" and the button name "Filter", the user knows to enter a value on which to filter the table. When the user enters text and clicks the Filter button, the page posts the data to emxSampleTitleSearchProcess.jsp into the listHidden frame, where the page can alter the results and refresh the body page accordingly.
