How to save changed data from a input field to the source structure

Question

Hi,
I have a small problem with the onChange event with HTML input fields.
When changing a value of a input field or by creating a new value for a field the OnChange event is called by moving away the mouse pointer....
get_form_field( 'field_name' ).
But is it possible to write back the new value in the source field ls_screenstructure_field1 without using the OnInputProcessing?
I ask because my application´s structures have a lot of fields that should be filled and changed by input fields.
It´s not comfortable to request every new value with .. = request->get_form_field(... .
Thanks for helping.
Cheers,
André

Answer 1

you wanted a onchange for a htmlb:inputfield which would also trigger server event. try the following code.
<htmlb:inputField id            = "test"
                            alignment     = "LEFT"
                            size          = "6"
                            required      = "TRUE"
                            doValidate    = "TRUE"
                            type          = "INTEGER"
                             />
<bsp:htmlbEvent id="myid" onClick="myonclick" name="ValueChanged" />
  <script for="test" event=onchange type="text/javascript">
alert(this.value);
ValueChanged();
</SCRIPT>
if the value in the inputfield is changed it would trigger a alert at the client side and also trigger a server event. now you can caputre the value in oninputprocessing.
Hope this helps.
do let us know if you need help in how to capture this value in oninputprocessing.
