clojurescript: how do i copy one input text field to another?

[bob]

I new to clojurescript and i thought i would take a simple example
like http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_onclick

it has javascript that does the following:

<button
onclick="document.getElementById('field2').value=document.getElementById('field1').value">Copy
Text</button>

i created the following clojurescript

(defn ^:export copytext []
(let [e (dom/getElement "field2")]
(doto e (dom/setTextContent (.value (dom/getElement "field1"))))))

to set the input text field2.

I'm not seeing any errors on the console, but i'm also not seeing the
text being
copied from field1 to field2.

thanks in advance for pointers on how to get this working.

Can you create a paste of your index.html as well as your ClojureScript file?

Thanks!

I had this problem too. I tried to do it in Pinot+Noir. Haven't
figured it out yet, so curious to see if there's any success with
this!

The problem is the setTextContent function from Google closure. Text
content is the text within a div, span, p, label etc but not the value
of an input element. Likewise getTextContent on field1 returns "",
rather than the value "Hello World!".

The following clojurescript can set the value of a text input field:
(set! (.value (dom/getElement "field2")) (.value (dom/getElement
"field1")))

This is the clojurescript translation for this javascript assignment:
