Dojo: Programatically setting checkbox label for adding on TableContainer
- by Det
Hi there,
after some hours of checking out documentation, I am somewhat desperate:
Basically I need to populate a TabContainer with some TextBoxes, and some Checkboxes. All theses neatly arranged: Labels to the left, fields to the right.
To have this done I use a TableContainer that I add to the TabContainer, create the TextFields and add them to the TableContainer. All is rendered ok. But when it comes to a checkbox, I can't find the trick to have a label displayed at all.
If I:
- add a label-attribute to creation statement say:
var text8 = new dijit.form.CheckBox({
id:"zuschauer_" + i, value: "zuschauer", label:"fritt"});
Firefox comes up with a "containerNode is null" - Error
try to add a tag: Nothing is shown (no error, but alas: no label):
var text9 = dojo.create('<label>');
dojo.attr(text9,"for","zuschauer_" + i);
dojo.attr(text9,"content","fritt");
try to add a div or somewhat else on the tablecontainer (disabled Labels): Firefox comes up whith:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMHTMLDivElement.appendChild]" nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)" location: "JS frame :: ...
same is for created TextNodes...
So how the hack:
- Would I generate a label to a checkbox programatically (no html template possible, I've seen the code around, creating a checkbox but having a 'label for' on the html before. This would not be helpful, as I don't know how many checkboxes I need at designtime. These are to be genereated completly at runtime.
- Would I have this very simple design done programatically, Must be easy, this is not rocket sience. Do I really need the TableContainer to have this done?
- Can I create static text in a TableContainer?
Any hint would be helpful
