Hello!
Please, check this: http://webix.com/snippet/e57dbbb2
getText appears to grab tag from placeholder when no value is selected.
It’s not a bug. In fact, getText() returns the innerHtml attribute. You can check the following sample. So I suggest using getValue() (note that this method ignores the placeholder).
Also, you can get the placeholder’s value as
$$("rich_id").config.placeholder
It’s strange. No consistency.
Clean text value:
ui.combo: http://webix.com/snippet/f0641738
Missing text value at all:
ui.multicombo: http://webix.com/snippet/06253d98
With SPAN tag:
ui.datepicker: http://webix.com/snippet/746c164b
ui.colorpicker: http://webix.com/snippet/c22282a7
ui.multiselect: http://webix.com/snippet/4b176cee
P.S.:
Take a look at colorpicker and multicombo. The both lose ‘placeholder’ after ‘setValue’.
Yep, I see. The fix will be provided in the one of the nearest updates.
