findItemByValue not working using concatenated string as parameter

[jlj30]

Hi,

I'm sure this is something silly on my part, but I can't spot it.

The following code works:

var x = 'text';
var y = 'Red';
var selectedColorButtonValue = String(x + y);
var selectedColorButton = toolBar.findItemByValue(selectedColorButtonValue);

Now, since the actual value of y is dynamic and only known at run time, I have this code:

var selectedColorButtonValue = getColorButtonValue(fontColor); // Returns 'Red' for this demo


selectedColorButtonValue = String('text' + selectedColorButtonValue);

var selectedColorButton = toolBar.findItemByValue(selectedColorButtonValue);

The above does NOT work. The toolbarbutton that I'm trying to find is not found!

The toolbarbutton in question is one of several items in a RadToolBarSplitButton.

I have written to the console, and the value of selectedColorButtonValue appears fine.

Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Jim

Hi,

Make sure that you pass the correct id to $find:

function findItem() {
    var toolBar = $find("<%= toolbar.ClientID %>");
    var x = 'text';
    var y = 'Red';
    var selectedColorButtonValue = String(x + y);
    var selectedColorButton = toolBar.findItemByValue(selectedColorButtonValue);
}

<telerik:RadToolBar runat="server" ID="toolbar">
         <Items>
             <telerik:RadToolBarButton Text="Button" Value="textRed">
                 <ItemTemplate>
                     button
                 </ItemTemplate>
             </telerik:RadToolBarButton>
         </Items>
     </telerik:RadToolBar>
