Hi,

I'm having issue with the code

Below is my page code - 'submit' is the button that opens the lightbox, which has a text field that I would like to automatically fill with the title of the page the user is ok ('text24').

import wixWindow from "wix-window";
export function submit_click(event, $w) {
var data = {
title : $w("#text24").text
};
wixWindow.openLightbox("ContactLightbox", data);
}

And this is my lightbox code.

import wixWindow from "wix-window";
var pmtdata;
$w.onReady(function () {
pmtdata = wixWindow.lightbox.getContext('#text24');
$w("#text36").text = pmtdata.title;
});

However my text box ('text36') stays empty and i'm not sure what to do. Can anybody help me?

Hi Julian,

I have tested your code and it works. Have you tried checking your element names? And ensure that your submit button has the correct event handler (i.e. click).

Elements:
1. Text: #text24
2. Submit Button: #submit
3. Lightbox: #ContactLightbox
4. Lightbox text: #text36
Page Code:
import wixWindow from "wix-window";
export function submit_click(event, $w) {
var data = {
title : $w("#text24").text
};
wixWindow.openLightbox("ContactLightbox", data);
}

Lightbox Code:
import wixWindow from "wix-window";
var pmtdata;
$w.onReady(function () {
pmtdata = wixWindow.lightbox.getContext();
$w("#text36").text = pmtdata.title;
});

Do let us know if you need help implementing the code for your website.

Thank you!
