Get Combo Box Value From Button
Assume I have:
var obj = new AW.UI.Combo();
obj.setId("staffCombo");
obj.setItemCount(myStaffVals.length);
obj.setItemText(myStaffVals);
obj.setItemValue(myStaffKeys);
document.write(obj);
and
var obj = new AW.UI.Button();
obj.setId("staffAdd");
obj.setControlText("Add Staff To Location");
obj.onControlClicked = function(event) {
window.location = "/wv_dev/client/addCommssionedStaff.asp?LID=<%= Request("LID") %>&PID=<%= Request("PID") %>&SID=";
};
document.write(obj);
How do I access the current, selected value of staffCombo in the onControlClicked of staffAdd?
Thanks.

It's nice to be able to provide support to yourself!
var staffCombo = new AW.UI.Combo();
staffCombo.setId("staffCombo");
staffCombo.setItemCount(myStaffVals.length);
staffCombo.setItemText(myStaffVals);
staffCombo.setItemValue(myStaffKeys);
staffCombo.getContent("box/text").setAttribute("readonly", true);
staffCombo.onControlEditStarted = function() {
this.getContent("box/text").element().contentEditable = false;
}
document.write(staffCombo);
and
var staffAdd = new AW.UI.Button();
staffAdd.setId("staffAdd");
staffAdd.setControlText("Add Staff To Location");
staffAdd.onControlClicked = function(event) {
var sel_val = staffCombo.getItemValue(staffCombo.getSelectedItems());
window.location = "/wv_dev/client/addCommissionedStaff.asp?LID=<%=Request("LID") %>&PID=<%= Request("PID") %>&SID=" + sel_val;
};
document.write(staffAdd);
Caveat: Not sure if my code in onControlClicked is the best way to trigger a page change. Probably there is a more AW way of doing this via Button properties and methods that I have yet to discover...

Please correct the first line in the onControlClicked block for the button to:
var sel_val = myStaffKeys[staffCombo.getSelectedItems(staffCombo.getSelectedItems())];
This gets the actual <option> value, what I call the "key". The code in the above post gets you the position of the data of the combo in the array used to populate it.
My bad. Sorry.
