Web Text Field
From Xojo Documentation
Text Fields display text in a single-line text entry field, such as the login field seen on many web pages. Use the Set Default Value feature to set the default text for the text field.
Below is a list of common events, properties and methods. For the complete list, refer to WebTextField in the Language Reference.
Events
- Called when a key has been pressed while the field has focus. The Details parameters tells you which key was pressed. Remember that events such as this call back to the server to process the code. Due to latency between the browser and the server you do not want to have time consuming code in this event handler.
- Called when the text has been changed, but only after the user has pressed return, enter or the field has lost focus.
