pre-populate Floaters

[yeudoi]

Hi everyone,

This is my first time to create a Floater. It has an interactive form for
user to enter information. I want to be able to prepopulate the form fields
with some values from configuration, but I don't know how. I read that
floaters don't execute "onLoad" in the body. Follow advice on book, I try to
put the initUI(), where I set field values, inside initialPosition() (also try
initialTabs()), but it doesn't work.

Would someone tell me what I did wrong, and what is the correct way to tackle
this problem.

Thank you very much.

Try placing the call to your function outside of the other functions. e.g.

function xyz(){


}

xyz();


Be aware that this will only work the first time the panel is shown in a session, beyond that, the panel will already be loaded in memory and as such that code isn't run again.
