The return in custom functions

MikeS

Hi.

Does Sahi support return in all custom functions or only in <browser>-ones?
I need to use my function, which returns the value, but it's not the <browser> one and I get the error that this function is not defined.

Thanks.

To clarify the situation:

I am using FCKEditor on the page and I need to get-and-set its value.
My custom functions are:

<browser>
function fckEditorGetValue($id)
{
    return FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance($id).GetHTML();
}

function fckEditorSetValue($id, $value)
{
    FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance($id).SetHTML($value);
}
</browser>

As long as they are <browser>-ones, I cannot use them just like that:

fckEditorSetValue('description', 'description test');
fckEditorGetValue('description');

but I can with something like that:

_setGlobal('qweqweqweqw', fckEditorSetValue('description', 'description test') );

where 'qweqweqweqw' is just the name of some useless global key.


If I remove <browser>, I am not able to user return in get function.

What shall I do?

For browser functions, you need to fetch the value from the browser using _set.

Do

var $html = null;
_set($html, fckEditorSetValue('description', 'description test'));

Thanks a lot, that was not obvious.
So, I cannot use return in non-browser functions?

Hi Mike,

My mistake. My answer must have made it more unclear!
You can return values and my example should have looked like this:

To explicitly retrieve value from a browser function

var $html = null;
_set($html, fckEditorGetValue('description'));
_alert($html)


To explicitly call a browser function:

_call(fckEditorSetValue('description', 'description test'));
