Menu navigation Javascript

[Takson]

Hi,

I am new to the platform, just working my way around it and putting together a couple of small example apps at the moment. I have created a 5 page data capture app with a menu, but don't seem to be able to get the menu navigation to trigger off a javascript switch command. I used the example from the help guide but I dont get any activity. here is my code snippet, could someone point me in the right direction?

switch (controls.MAIN_MENU.selected)
{

case "CUSTOMERLIST": form.gotoPage(pages.CUSTOMERS);
break;
case "NEWCUSTOMER": form.gotoPage(pages.NEW_CUSTOMER);
break;

}

Toby,

Check you've filled in the Item Name property for each of the menu items - this is what I always forget. This is what is returned with the selected property. If this doesn't work, you could always add a log(controls.MAIN_MENU.selected); statement to help debug.

Regards

Thanks Jon,

It was both that and I was referencing the Control 1 level down, so the .selected was returning undefined and therefore the switch was not firing either.

All sorted now, thank you.
