Kevin's example is larger and slower and wrong. JavaScript does not have block scope, so Mark’s example lacks any benefit. Kevin’s example is larger and slower and wrong.

I suggested:

myBuildUrl.call(this,this._oCellEditor.record)

notice the .call after myBuildUrl.

Being part of YUI would be even better ! I tried to make it as YUI-like as possible (<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/inputex/browse_thread/thread/c9ee26ae1877c0f" rel="nofollow"> and the road is still long</a>), so that the community could contribute to it. (and it started with very good advices from the YUI team!) @Lance Progressive enhancement will definitely be added sooner or later. It isn't there yet because of inputEx origins: it was built for a javascript-intensive web application. Many thanks for your kind encouragements !

Also very, very minor, but this method also involves one less object being created. I kind of like Kevin Greer’s last addition, though here’s a variation I’ve not seen commented here yet:


{
var o = ooo.eee.oo.ah_ah.ting.tang.walla.walla;
o.bing = true;
o.bang = true;
}

This limits the scope of “o” while not changing “this” or restricting access to parent/global variables. Also very, very minor, but this method also involves one less object being created.

I know Satyam and Dav have already weighed in with input and support, and Eric has a link for people who want to contribute. I'm hopeful that as Eric evolves this he or one of his contributors will add progressive enhancement as a feature. -Eric @Lance — I agree with you (and I suspect Eric does as well).

I did myBuildUrl(this,this._oCellEditor.record) as you suggested but that did not help.

I also tried changing myBuildUrl = function(this,record) but that also gave an error.

However, one thing that looks like it is missing is a markup-based solution. I would like the forms to exist and work if JavaScript is turned off. From what I can tell, all of these fields are created in js and not the markup. One thing I like about YUI is that I can create things like the tab panel from either js or markup.

Eric's work here is of particular interest in that it helps to address a current cap in YUI's coverage. Regards, Eric @Michal,

IMHO however form elements should be included in the YUI itself - it is so crucial to any serious web application. It would be nice to know IF and WHEN this could happen. A month ago we have started implementing our own form handling too, because we needed this badly. Good luck with the project, Michal Frackowiak Good start!
