Have a look
athttp://desktopgadgets.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/TetrisGadget/keyCodes.js

I have collected a lot of keycodes for the Tetris gadget options dialog. Enter is 108

Greetings, Benjamin

I got things to work with this: function onkeypress1() { txtwhat.color = "#000000"; if (event.keyCode == 9) { txtwhere.focus(); event.returnvalue = false; } if (event.keyCode == 13) { doSearch(); event.returnvalue = false; }

}

How come we can only use ASCII codes with the Google Gadgets? Is 13 the same as 'Enter' & 'Return' keys?

Thanks much,

Chris

Dear Chris,

Are you getting any error?

Thanks,

That is helping.

Here's what I have:

function onkeypress1() { txtwhat.color = "#000000"; if (event.keyCode == 'Tab') { txtwhere.focus(); event.returnvalue = false; } if (event.keyCode == 'Return' || event.keyCode == 'Enter') event.returnValue = true; { doSearch(); } }

And the doSearch: var url = "http://www.dexknows.com/search.ds?newSearch=true"; url = url + "&what=" + txtwhat.value url = url + "&where=" + txtwhere.value; openURL(url);

Which isn't working at the moment. Any suggestions? I need the values of 'txtwhat' & 'txtwhere' to be passed to the above URL.

Thanks.

Chris

The ASCII code is 9. Here's a code snippet:

function istabPresseduser(){ if (event.keyCode == 9) { editbox2.focus(); event.returnvalue = false; }

I forgot the exact ASCII code for the TAB key, but what you want is this property: event.keyCode. You can just try alert(event.keyCode); to test different keys.

Sorry, that last message wasn't too clear.

I'm trying to determine what the user has pressed as far as a key goes. Trying to do this with an 'onkeypress' command.

Thanks,

Well, the Gadget Designer (as a WYSIWYG) isn't the only solution.

I

made

gadgets in Notepad for quite a while :) But it has some

advantages,

and you

can edit the code in the Designer as well.

I don't really understand what doesn't work. If you're referring

to

the

previously discussed example, i would use a <label> for the

'normal'

part,

and an <a> for the link.

About the input methods; yes, edit boxes (<edit>) are the

solution.

The best sample source is the SDK: http://desktop.google.com/downloadsdksubmit?hl=en You can change the gadgets within to experiment and see how it

works.

Once

you figure it out, it should all come natural.

Teo,

Thanks for your reply. I've read through the document, but am

still

at

a loss to get the Gadget Designer application to really edit my code accordingly. It seems every time I edit something in code view, things crash. Can google desktop Gadgets only be created through this application? I can't seem to find a good example of input fields within a gadget. Right now I've created two 'edit boxes' as my input fields. Is this the right method?

I've created a Yahoo Widget that is functional with XML, but am really struggling with the Google Gadget because I can't see code

examples

of

how things work when passing variables to a javascript file.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

you can't put in regular HTML tags, but you can still do this

XML

fashion,

some tags differ a bit. This page will give you a good start:

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
