Using ChangeAttributeOperation in oxy_combobox onChange

[Johannab_31]

Hello,

I hope you can help. I'm using XML Editor 20.1 and XML Author 20.1. I'm working on a custom CSS style-sheet that will be used online in the Web Author.

I want to update the outputclass attribute value based on the value that the user enters for the title element. The title element will be a combobox.

DITA xml

Code: Select all

<concept deliverymethod="E-Learning" id="concept-cpr_zxf_2op" outputclass="need_to_know">
		<title>Need To Know</title>

I got it to work using the 'XQueryUpdateOperation' but I believe that isn't supported in the web author so I switched to using the 'ChangeAttributeOperation' operation i.e.

CSS

Code: Select all

learningContent[outputclass~="stay_current"] *[class~="concept/concept"] > *[class~="topic/title"]:first-child:before {
    content: oxy_label(text, "Title*: ", styles, "width:5%; color:black;")
        oxy_combobox(           
            edit, "#text",
            editable, false,
            values, "Highlights, Need To Know, Assessment",
            /*onChange, oxy_action(
                name, 'Insert',
                operation, 'XQueryUpdateOperation',
                arg-script, 'replace value of node ../@outputclass with replace(lower-case(.), " ", "_")')
            );*/
            onChange, oxy_action(
                name, 'ChangeOutputClass',
                operation, 'ChangeAttributeOperation',
                arg-name, 'outputclass',
                arg-elementLocation, '..',
                arg-value, oxy_xpath("replace(lower-case(text()), ' ', '_')")
                )
            );
}

The problem is that @outclass is updated with the title value before the dropdown change e.g if the title is 'TEST 1' and I change it to "TEST 2" the value of @outputclass is changed to 'TEST 1' - not the new value.

Can you figure out a way to achieve this?

Many Thanks for your help

Hello,

The support for onChange property was added in version 21.1 of Web Author. Are you able to upgrade Web Author to a newer version to solve this issue?

Best,
