GWT Query selector not working

Question

GWT Query selector i.e. $("#id") not working inside callback function. However xyz.find("#id") works, where xyz -> Gquery variable. Is it that callback function doesn't support $ selector or is there some other problem.

could you please add some code snippet of your callback? – Arcadien Jun 28 '12 at 08:08 — Arcadien, Jun 28 '12 at 08:08

Are you sure that the element with id "id" is attached to the dom when the callback function is called ?

When you execute $("#id"), gQuery try to find elements matching the selectors within the set of elements of the DOM tree . When you execute xyz.find("#id"), gQuery try to find elements matching the selectors inside the array of elements selected by xyz no matter the elements are still or not in the dom tree.

Seems stupid, but thanks for pointing this out. The problem was that, the id wasn't actually being attached to the dome like you mentioned, so $('#id') wasn't working and since I had the original element with me, so xyz.find('#id') was working. – archangel Jul 09 '13 at 04:38
