How to map a context attribute to an input field

Question

Hi,
I am new to CRM 2007 UI.I have a table control view on my screen and records are filled in this table when an user enters a value in an input field and presses enter.My bsp page looks something like this.
<%@page language="abap" %>
<%@extension name="chtmlb" prefix="chtmlb" %>
<%@extension name="thtmlb" prefix="thtmlb" %>
<%@extension name="uhtmlb" prefix="uhtmlb" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
<%@extension name="xhtmlb" prefix="xhtmlb" %>
<%@extension name="crm_bsp_ic" prefix="crmic" %>
<%@extension name="bsp" prefix="bsp" %>
<%
  DATA lv_xml TYPE string.
  lv_xml = controller->configuration_descr->get_config_data( ).
%>
<thtmlb:grid cellSpacing = "1"
             columnSize  = "1"
             height      = "100%"
             rowSize     = "2"
             width       = "100%" >
  <thtmlb:gridCell colSpan     = "1"
                   columnIndex = "1"
                   rowIndex    = "1"
                   rowSpan     = "1" >
    <thtmlb:label id   = "NAMELABEL"
                  for  = "NAMEINF"
                  text = "Enter a name" />
    <thtmlb:inputField          id                = "NAMEINF"
                            disabled          = "FALSE"
                            tooltip           = "Enter a name to see all records"
                            submitOnEnter     = "X"/>  </thtmlb:gridCell>
  <thtmlb:gridCell colSpan     = "1"
                   columnIndex = "1"
                   rowIndex    = "2"
                   rowSpan     = "1" >
    <chtmlb:configTable id              = "PaymentTable"
                        table           = "//HeaderData/Table"
                        xml             = "<%= lv_xml %>"
                        selectedRowIndex      = "<%= HeaderData->SELECTED_INDEX %>"
                        fillUpEmptyRows = "FALSE" />
  </thtmlb:gridCell>
</thtmlb:grid>
The problem is that I want to map this input field to my context attribute.I am from Webdynpro background and ther its pretty easy :)....
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks

Hi,
you should add the context attribute to the html page itself, or another way of doing it is to implement the set_model method of the view controller.
On the view controller you can find a lot of usefull attributes like the view manager which can help you understand the bsp framework
