form.getChild() function problem
Hello,
I'm trying to get all widgets from a form with the getChildren function :
var form = new Form(myForm.xml);
var myWidgets = form.getChildren();
form.showForm("myform-display-pipeline");
But I get an error message telling getChildren() is not function (
form.getChild('xxx') works fine). I saw the function in Cocoon 2.1.10 API
but I'm using Cocoon 2.2 (I got the same error with Cocoon 2.1.9).
May this useful function have been removed ?
Alan

Ok, thank you Jason for the explanation. It works perfectly.

I think your confusion is that when you do "new Form()" from your
flowscript, you don't get an org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Form Java
object that has the getChildren() method, but instead you get an
instance of the javascript class Form (see [1]) which wraps an instance
of the Java class.
Thankfully the javascript Form object allows you to get access to the
underlying java Form object by using the getWidget() method. So
changing your code to:
var myWidgets = form.getWidget().getChildren();
...should work.
