Combobox sends Text instead of value

**BuckBazooka** · 7 Jul 2008 9:06 PM

Hi,

I guess I am doing something wrong but I don't see what. Can someone help me please?

I have a very simple combobox, which I feed with a 2-dimensional array of value text. When I press submit the text is sent and not the value. In the combobox choices I see the texts.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../extjs/adapter/ext/ext-base.js?v=3331"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../extjs/ext-all-debug.js?v=3331"></script>			

</head>
<body>

<form>
	<input id="combo" name="combo" type="text" />
	<input type="submit" name="send" />
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
	Ext.onReady(function(){
	    var arrayCombo = [["a", "apple"], ["b", "banana"]];
	    var combo = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
		typeAhead: true, 
		store: arrayCombo, 
		triggerAction: 'all', 
		applyTo:'combo', 
		width:200, 
		editable:false, 
		selectOnFocus:true,
		value: "b",
		mode: 'local',
		forceSelection:true
	    });	
	});
    //]]>
</script>
</body>
</html>

The combobox shows normally with all the fruit texts, but when I submit, the text is sent and not the value!!!

You haven't specified a valueField for your combo.

I have the same problem.
From the documentation, when a 2-dimensional array is passed as a store, it assumes that the first entry in every item is the value and the second is the text but from my experience it isn't. It always sends the text.

Also I tried creating a SimpleStore from the multidimensional array and setting displayField and valueField explicitly but it's ignoring the valueField option since it's sending the shown text.

I'm using Ext 2.1 with prototype adapter (I don't know if it matters).
