New to Mobione, trying the trial version, not a programmer but have some app idea to try out, so was looking at this tool.
Stuck on this issue already raised by someone and now closed. But not sure whether to open new topic or post on this, so posting here.
This is what I tried:
Opened Design Center
Created new SmartPhone Design->Basic Template
saved this file as pg1.mobi
– had checked the box Startup Screen
Added widgets
– Panel
– Text Widget (ID=txtLabel)
– Button(Push)
Then chose
– Onlclick of Button
– Run JavaScript
– Opened JavaScript Action Editor
want to change the text shown in the Text widget
Tried the solution given here, none working.
$(‘#txtLabel’).val(‘test’)
$(‘#txtLabel’).text(‘test’)
$(‘#txtLabel’).val(‘test’);
$(‘#txtLabel’).text(‘test’);

None of the above is working and stuck and wondering whether this is really easy to use for a non-programmer like me!
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

You are falling foul of the somewhat arcane naming conventions used by this tool…

what you need is:

$(‘#m1-pg1-txtLabel’).text(‘new text here’);

the schema is m1 – says this is MobiOne
pg1 – the .mobi file you are addressing
txtLabel – the widget ID you are addressing

note that textFields take .val rather than .text used by labels

By the bye – this is a closed thread – you should have opened a new one really, but I’m sure no-one will mind

Hi Stu,
It worked!
Thanks a lot for quick help.
I have another related to this only but as you said would open a new topic.
Thanks again!
