cannot read values from a textfield

[chrizmaster]

Hi,

i am frustrated I wrote the code for logging in and it works so far. but you know what? I can't read values from my textfields "username" and "password". I tried a thousand ways, read the api, search for examples, but it seems this problem is so ridiculous, nobody really cares.

Please help me.

Ext.onReady(function(){

createWindow(450,250,"Bitte loggen Sie sich ein.");
})

function createWindow(p_width, p_height, p_title){
    
var win = new Ext.Window({
    
    width: p_width,
    height: p_height,
    resizable: true,
    maximizable: true,
    title: p_title,
    modal: true,
    items:[{
        xtype:'form'
        ,id:'testform'
        ,defaultType:'textfield'
        ,frame:true
        ,defaults:{anchor:'95%'}
        ,items:[
            {
                html:'<img src="images/icon_lock.png" width="40" height="40" />'
                ,height:50
                ,xtype:'panel'
            },
            {
                fieldLabel:'Username'
                ,id:'username'
            },
            {
                fieldLabel:'Password'
                ,id:'password'
            }
        ]
        ,buttons:[
            {
                buttonAlign: 'right',
                text: "Login",
                handler: function(){
                    Ext.Msg.alert("blA",testform.findField("username").getValue());
                    //utilities.login("http://localhost/ext/starter/login.php",{"loginUsername":
"f", "loginPassword": "password"})
                }
            },
            {
                buttonAlign: 'right',
                text: "Abbrechen",
                handler: function(){
                    Ext.Msg.alert("Abbruch", "Login wurde abgebrochen");
                }
            }            
        ]
    }]
    
})
 win.show();    
}

field.getValue() or form.getForm().getValues() should return the values. Also, specifying a name attribute on the field is customary.

I doubt you tried a thousand ways.

What have you found via debugging? Set a breakpoint in the handler and inspect the variables. Stop debugging with alerts - you have to step thru the code.

[chrizmaster]

uh, u doubt it? really? if so then yes, u are right, i just tried 999 times

anyway, how could I debug, if I am simply don't know, how I can reach that element? I know what debugging is and trust me, I wouldn't ask u such a question, if I did'nt try this already.

Ext.getCmp('username').getValue();
Ext.get('username').dom.value = ''

choose one.

Also, check out login examples using Ext.Ajax.request instead of form.submit()

you may have to set up params as well.

var params = 'username:' + Ext.getCmp('username').getValue();

then, on your request, just put in the params variable.
