Re: Edit broadcasting

Denis,

A broadcaster will do that for you.  You could even get both to listen 
to the same BC and have them both update their values based on it.

Make them "timed" textboxes to set the bc.

<broadcaster id="tbBroadcaster" label="sometext"/>

<vbox datasources="bookstore_ext.rdf.php?classname=Book"
	ref="http://localhost/genericStore/Book">
     <label value="test" />

     <template>
     <rule>

        <textbox id="one" uri="rdf:*"
	value="rdf:http://localhost/genericStore/Book#Title"
	timed="300"
	observes="tbBroadcaster"
	oncommand="updateText();"/>

        <textbox id="two" uri="rdf:*" timed="300"
	value="rdf:http://localhost/genericStore/Book#Title"
	timed="300"
	observes="tbBroadcaster"
	oncommand="updateText();"/>

       </rule>
   </template>

</vbox>

function updateText()	{
  var bc = document.getElementById( "tbBroadcaster" );
  // Decide which text box value is used
  bc.setAttribute( "value", sVar )
}
