input field for google autocomplete

Webix JS
1

Guys,
It’s been days i’ve been trying to fix this but i don’t seem to be able to wrap my head around how to make independent use of an input field created in webix.

Pls check the following: http://webix.com/snippet/abadb429

with the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: a[YH] is not a function

the problem seems to be that i cannot use the field out of webix. Can this be achieved at all?

TIA

You can use API of webix to get the HTML node reference

Hidden elements are detached from DOM, so they will be not accessible by jQuery.

Hello Maxim,

var testelem = $$(“Field”).$view;

is okay but it returns more than it should. I am only interested in selecting the ‘input’ element, whereas testelem will contain all the divs wrapping around it.

thanks.

You can use

$$("Field").getInputNode()

Beware that it can be null for hidden input, as element will not render self until it become visible.

awesome!
Thank you Maksim, it’s working with InputNode()!!!

BTW is that documented? I struggle finding those methods in the documentation

TIA!!! Your help is much appreciated

API reference is generated automatically, so it contains ALL public methods. Unfortunately it may be not so easy to locate the necessary page.
