Hello,

I am trying to access the value of a text input box in an html dashboard to pass to the saved search being called when submit button is pressed.
I am unable to get the value so far. Can someone pls tell me what I am missing?

Thanks,
Komal


    <div id="panel2" class="dashboard-cell" style="width: 100%;">
        <div class="dashboard-panel clearfix">
            <div class="fieldset">
                <div class="input input-text" id="text1">
        <label> </label>
    </div>
            </div>

….

Form Inputs section of the dashbaord

//
// VIEWS: FORM INPUTS
//

    var text1 = new TextInput({
        "id": "text1",
        "searchWhenChanged": true,
        "value": "$appname_tok$",
        "el": $('#text1')
    }, {tokens: true}).render();

In my saved search I am saying ….$appname_tok$ but it does not pick up the value entered.
I have referenced this document already.

Any pointers?

Thanks a lot.

@komalg any reason for converting dashboard to html? If you want to pass selected textbox input value to your search on click of submit button this can be done directly using Simple XML Dashboard. So kindly explain the need for html dashboard. Following is a run anywhere example.

<form>
  <label>Text Box to Saved Search</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="true">
    <input type="text" token="appname_tok">
      <label>text1</label>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>
            | makeresults
            | fields - _time
            | eval SelectedText="$appname_tok$"
          </query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

Try without the quotes... "value": $appname_tok$ are the results the same ? Also try to see what's in the token, make an html panel and display it to make sure it's populating properly.
