Re: Why my button submit does not work ?

Hi,

I was trying to create a submit button in a panel based on that link :

https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Comprehensive-implementation-of-a-WORKING-submit-button/m-p/404125

BUT it is not working at all...

Here is my xlm code :

<form script="submit_button.js">
<label>Button in panel</label>
<row depends="$alwaysHideHTMLStyle$">
<panel>
<html>
<style>

#submit_button{
width:80px !important;
}
#submit_button div[data-component="splunk-core:/splunkjs/mvc/components/LinkList"]{
width:80px !important;
}
#submit_button button{
padding: 6px 15px !important;
border-radius: 3px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
background-color: #5cc05c !important;
border: transparent !important;
color: #fff !important;
}
#submit_button button:hover{
background-color: #40a540 !important;
border-color: transparent !important;
}
</style>
</html>
</panel>
</row>
<row depends="$tokTextFilter$">
<panel id="test">
<title>Create Maintenance Windows</title>

<input type="dropdown" token="application_tok" searchWhenChanged="true">

<option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
<option name="totalsRow">false</option>
<option name="wrap">true</option>
</table>
</panel>
</row>
</form>

Here is my js code :

require([
'jquery',
'splunkjs/mvc',
'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
], function($,mvc){
var submittedTokens = mvc.Components.get("submitted");
$("#submit_button").click(function(){
submittedTokens.set("start_id",submittedTokens.get("start"));
submittedTokens.set("end_id",submittedTokens.get("end"));
});
});

Can you help me to see what is wrong ?

Thanks a lot.

Does it matter that your case does not match for the token names? Start vs start, End vs end in JS?

That is not what I understand in the explanation in this link :

https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Comprehensive-implementation-of-a-WORKING-...

require([
'jquery',
'splunkjs/mvc',
'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
], function($,mvc){
var submittedTokens = mvc.Components.get("submitted");
$("#submit_button").click(function(){
submittedTokens.set("start_id",submittedTokens.get("start"));
submittedTokens.set("end_id",submittedTokens.get("end"));
});
});

In yellow, it is token I apply in my search.

In green, it is token I apply in my text input.

That is what I understand in the demonstration in the link below...

But It actually does not wok at all...

Why my button submit does not work ?
