1 Textbox Element - #textbox {}
The textbox element produces an HTML textbox.
Usage
#textbox { id=textbox1, text="Some text.", next=textbox2 }
Attributes
- text - (string)
- Set the textbox's contents.
- html_encode - (boolean)
- Set to true to safely html-encode the text.
- placeholder - (string)
- Sets the placeholder text (text that will be
in the textbox until the user focuses in the textbox). This uses the
HTML5 placeholder attribute, which is only supported in newer browsers.
To add support for older-browsers, you will need to link a placeholder
script in your template. You can do this by adding the following to your
template inside the
<head>section after loading jQuery.
<script src='/nitrogen/jquery.placeholder.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
- next - (atom)
-
If set with a valid control ID, pressing the enter key in the textbox will automatically move focus to the specified control.
- postback - (Erlang term)
-
If set, pressing the enter key in the textbox will automatically initiate a Nitrogen postback with the supplied term.
- html_name - (string)
- The name attribute of the textbox.
