OpenWGA 7.0 - JavaScript reference


Object:

WGA.event

Description

The Object WGA.event is used to handle client side WebTML portlet events. This is a way to use portlet events if the client JavaScript code needs to work with them.

A portlet may fire an event using the method WGA.event.fireEvent() while other portlets may register event listeners by using WGA.event.addListener().

Event listeners are automatically removed when a portlet is refreshed. This is true also for all child portliest of a portlet.

WGA.event.removeListeners(pkey)
