[Laszlo-user] datacomboboxes and local datasets?

[Elliot Winard]

While assembling a bug file for the openlaszlo JIRA, I came up with the 
following syntax. [0] It works in pagan-deities but was *not* working in 
wafflecone.

I think I'm all good now.
Thanks,

    <contactfieldcombo itemdatapath="local:internal:/select/option"
                       textdatapath="@name"
                       valuedatapath="@value"
                       >
        <!-- combobox-backing dataset -->
        <dataset name="internal">
            <select name="Notification" value="0">
                <option name="e-mail" value="0" />
                <option name="mobile" value="1" />
            </select>
        </dataset>
       
        <handler name="onselect" args="dptr">
            Debug.write('value:', this.value);
            Debug.write('datapointer:', dptr);
        </handler>
    </contactfieldcombo>
