Hello again.
I’m trying to alter the behavior of a “Next button” but I cannot find the right syntax to use to navigate to a specific page.

I was naifly hoping that this could work, but I guess I’m off to a long night without your help.

function checkPass()
  {
  phoneui.gotoPage(m1-error,slideLeft);
  }

Try gotoPage(‘m1-error’,’FLIP_LEFT’) or whatever transition effect you like. The transition effects are:

NONE
FADE
FLIP_LEFT
FLIP_RIGHT
SLIDE_LEFT
SLIDE_RIGHT
SLIDE_UP
SLIDE_DOWN’

Hello …. again!

This is the most basic function I can think of and yet I can’t get to to work … my dumbness must have reached stellar proportions 🙁
BTW, I have tried with and without the phoneui.

I have attached a pic to make sure I describe it as it is.
Any other pointer?

try this

phoneui.gotoPage( “m1-???”, phoneui.transitions.slideLeft );

where ??? is the filename of the new mobi page.

i would put an

alert(‘test’);

just before the goto – to make sure that it’s being called.

both the mobi files have to be in the same folder.

THANK YOU.
Travelling now, checking as soon as I’m back.

function checkPass()
  {
  alert('before'); 
  phoneui.gotoPage('m1-error',phoneui.transitions.slideLeft);
  alert('after'); 
  }

The code above is not working 🙁

I have the pages on the same directory and I get both alerts (before and after) but no page change at all.

Any other idea??

[SonamGyato]

are you getting the ‘before’.

if not, checkPass() is not being called.

open up the debugger and console (at the bottom)
and look for any errors.

[WiZaxx]

I get both before and after alerts.

I also see a “page not found” error in the consolle but the page is in the same folder ?!?!

What do you think is going on?

[SonamGyato]

i think i know the problem.

from within your app, are you making a reference to the
error.mobi page. that is from a button etc.

otherwise you’ll have to do this.

i created a dummy page from which i make references to
all the pages and images that i reference dynamically.

then on your main app page, create a button
(e.g. id XYZ).

on this page make references to all the dynamic resources.

then on your

phoneui.documentReadyHandler = function()
{
// hide the button that you created on the main mobi
// page that’s references the other pages/images
//
document.getElementById(“XYZ”).style.display = “none”;

}

@everest @WiZaxx

WiZaxx, I made the same conclusion as everest, that most likely your error page is not being included in the code export of you app because it is not explicitly referenced in a Link property of your main page or a descendant page linked from the main page. We realize this is a goofy approach and it is being addressed in then next 1-2 releases.

As everest identifies you can force all of your pages to by creating a dummy page that is linked to from the main page. Here is a simple technique I used in the Custom Actions Demo I posted yesterday. In the page-1 design I added 2 Link components at the bottom of the page. These Link components are “linked” to page2 and page3 design files. I hide the Links by deleting all of the text such that they have zero width.

[WiZaxx]

Whow… This is cumbersome!!

But it works, and yes you should address this ASAP 🙂

Thank you guys!
