Let’s say I am using a WebIX form with a bunch of WebIX controls. One of the controls (ui.text) needs some very special behavior - let’s say, a very specialized “mask” behavior: as certain key are typed, they are not displayed, changed to something else, trigger cursor movement, etc.
This behavior is not achievable with the ui.text onKeyPress event, but this is OK. I can write this myself by adding event handlers to the HTML Input control (Edit Box). I just need the access to the Edit Box - how can I get that access?
The ID that I assign to the ui.text is actually the “view_id” attribute of a DIV element that has the Edit Box as a child. I do not want to call a jQuery function to traverse the whole DOM tree to find an element by “view_id”. Is there an efficient way to access the underlying HTML element?
