Click Events not getting attached

[gangurg gangurg]

public class MyPanel extends AbsolutePanel implements HasClickHandlers {

    public MyPanel (Element elem) {

            super(elem.<com.google.gwt.user.client.Element> cast());

            onAttach();

           

    }

    @Override

    public HandlerRegistration addClickHandler(ClickHandler handler) {

            return addDomHandler(handler, ClickEvent.getType());

    }

}

//Some Widget

 HTMLPanel contentHtmlPanel = new HTMLPanel("Hello <a href=\"#world\">World</a>");

                    

                    

                   

                    MyPanel p = new MyPanel (contentHtmlPanel.getElement());

               p.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {

                        @Override

                        public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {

                         GWT.log("Hello World");

                        }

                      });

             

               

      

//Logic to mainuplate elemts inside a text area

com.google.gwt.dom.client.Text text =  

 txt.getParentElement().replaceChild(Element.as(p.getElement()), txt);

The Click handler works on Firefox but in IE the click handler is not getting attched .

Any thoughts on the question below ? On similar lines , How to retain Widgets Events after the widget is added as an Element .

I could add widget as an Element but loose the fact that  dont get events attached to the widget . Is there any work around for this ?

[Jeff Larsen]

Why do you need to get widgets as elements? 

Why not just do 

p.add(new HTMLPanel("Hello <a href=\"#world\">World</a>");

ya use them as widgets instead of elements,  if you want to retain the listeners.

How to use them as Widgets ?

[Akash Gupta]

don't cast them into elements, use them as widgets, do not deal with elements at all.

[Akash Gupta]

instead of   MyPanel p = new MyPanel (contentHtmlPanel.getElement());

do it   MyPanel p = new MyPanel (contentHtmlPanel);

and have a constructor accordingly.

If your going to extend like this, you'll need to sink the events you want and then use OnBrowserEvent...

That's so old-school! addDomHandler(myHandler, ClickEvent.getType()) works equally well.

GWT Kid's problem here is to go down the DOM path without knowing how events work at the higher-level of widgets: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/DomEventsAndMemoryLeaks

Good point :)
