getting current value on an inputNumberSpinner in javascript

[jersinghaus]

I've defined an input spinner like this:

<rich:inputNumberSpinner id="myInputSpinner" value="6" minValue="1" maxValue="6" cycled="false"/>

How can I access the current value in javascript? Is there something like the modal panel call: RichFaces.hideModalPanel that operates on the spinner; e.g. RichFaces.myInputSpinner.getValue()?

Thanks,
Joe

try
onchange="alert(this.getValidValue())"

What if we want to get at the element from outside the control itself?

I've got the spinner in a modal panel. When the panel pops up, I'd like to know what the value of the spinner is.


Thanks,

document.getElementById(client_id_of_spinner_here).value

Sergey,

This is strange:

document.getElementById(client_id_of_spinner_here) is returning an HTMLTableElement object, which has no 'value' attribute.

But this code: document.getElementsByName(client_id_of_spinner_here)[0] returns HTMLInputElement. I'm using this form for now.

I have the spinner inside a rich:modalPanel; could this be causing this?
