Topic: Trying to extend Rename functionality

Hi,

I thought this would be easy, but I've failed miserabley.  I am trying to extend the rename facility so that I can, for example, strip out certain characters or replace them with other characters.  I already have the functions written and thought it would be easy just to extend the Rename function and hand it back to you with a Ta Da!! - Sorry - I failed roll

The function:

function RemoveInvalidChars(theinput, pattern) {
    reg = new RegExp(pattern, 'g');
    newstring = theinput.value.replace(reg, '');
    // only update the input if invalid chars have been replaced
    // to avoid annoying behavior (e.g. moving cursor to end of text)
    if (newstring != theinput.value) {
        theinput.value = newstring;
    }
    return true;
}


Could you show me how I could add this to your rename function.  I can then add the 3 other functions and send back to.

many thanks

Peter

Re: Trying to extend Rename functionality

tree = new Mif.Tree({
    initialize: function(){
        var input=this.getInput();
        input.addEvent('change', function(){
            //do something
        });
    },
    ...
