YUI button onclick get value
- by Simon
I have a a set of yui buttons generated using the standard yui html.
<span class="yui-button yui-checkbox-button" id="analystbutton1">
<span class="first-child">
<button type="button" class="facetbutton" tabindex="0" id="analystbutton1-button">
Joe Bloggs
</button>
</span>
</span>
I create the buttons like so, and I then have some javascript to create the button and the listener.
var analystCButton1 = new YAHOO.widget.Button("analystbutton1", { type:"checkbox", value:"BLOGGS", checked:false });
analystCButton1.on("click", onFacetClick);
Finally I have the onFacetClick function
var onFacetClick = function (e) { // e is the event
var target = YAHOO.util.Event.getTarget(e);
var button = new YAHOO.widget.Button(target);
alert(button.get('type'));
alert(button.get('id'));
alert(button.get('value'));
};
When I click on any of my buttons the first two alerts display the type and id (although not what I would expect). I cannot get the value, the alert doesn't fire, but I see no error in FireBug or the error console.
alert(button.get('type')); returns push - I would expect checkbox
alert(button.get('id')); returns analystbutton1-button
