xPages - how to access field values between 2 panels

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have an xPage with 2 Panel controls, panelA & panelB. Each panel has different datasources: customerDoc, orderDoc.

In a javascript formula on panelB, I want to get a value of an edit box control on panelA (that’s already been saved). How can I get the value?

Normally it would be: customerDoc.getItemValueString(“CustomerName”);

I’ve tried: getComponent( “panelA” ) but cannot figure out how to get a handle on the document.

Thanks,

John
