The properties of the text box used to enter the search criteria in an element prompt can be modified using the Strategy SDK.
The HTML generated to render the search text box by default is the following:
<input
type="text"
size=""
id="id_mstr84_txt"
style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
name="id_mstr84_txt"
onkeypress="return mstr.behaviors.TextBoxWithIcon.onkeypress(arguments, self, 'id_mstr84', this.value)"
onclick="if (mstr.utils.ISW3C) {this.focus();}"
maxlength=""/>
Customer's might want to customize the behaviour of the text box to add new JavaScript functions or add custom parameters to the HTML <input> tag.
The Client Side layout information for the search text box is stored under:
WEB-INF\xml\layoutsCS\mstr\layouts\TextBoxWithIcon.xml
The input tag parameters can be modified there to accomplish the desired behaviour.
Sample
Adding onMouseOver="javascript:alert('Mouse Over');" to the input definition
<input maxlength="{@maxlength}"
onclick="if (mstr.utils.ISW3C) {this.focus();}"
onkeypress="return mstr.behaviors.TextBoxWithIcon.onkeypress(arguments, self, '{@id}', this.value)"
name="{@id}_txt"
style="{@cssText}"
id="{@id}_txt"
size="{@size}"
type="{@inputType}"
onMouseOver="javascript:alert('Mouse Over');">
</input>
Will generate the following HTML when rendering the input text box
<input
type="text"
onmouseover="javascript:alert('Mouse Over');"
size=""
id="id_mstr84_txt"
style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
name="id_mstr84_txt"
onkeypress="return mstr.behaviors.TextBoxWithIcon.onkeypress(arguments, self, 'id_mstr84', this.value)"
onclick="if (mstr.utils.ISW3C) {this.focus();}"
maxlength=""/>
And will pop up and alert box when the mouse is placed on top of the text box
