Synopsis

LZX: method
Type: Class
Access: public
Topic: LZX.Basics

Description

Attaches a method to the object that contains this element. The method must have a name.

The name attribute allows the method to be invoked from JavaScript with this name. For example, if a method is defined via: 

<view id="obj">
  <method name="f" args="a, b">
    return a+b;
  </method>
</view>

then script code can invoke obj.f(1, 2) to add two numbers.

Initial Attributes are given as attributes in LZX but are not generally available as properties in JavaScript.

args
<attribute name="args" type="string" />
The parameter names of this method. The value of this attribute is a comma-separated list of JavaScript identifiers.
event
<attribute name="event" type="string" />
The name of the event that this method is invoked in response to.
name
<attribute name="name" type="token" />
The name of the method.
reference
<attribute name="reference" type="reference" value=""this"" />
If this attribute is present, it is a JavaScript expression that evaluates to an object. The code in this method executes when this object sends the event named by the @a{event} attribute. This attribute may be present only if the @a{event} attribute is present too.
