Opera Storage & Updating preferences

Question

I've been completely stumped for quite a while here. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have set several menus with the IDs like so:

<li><label for="website">Select Website:</label>
        <select name="website" id="website" />
            <option value="http://www.site1.com">Website 1</option>
            <option value="http://www.site2.com">Website 2</option>
            <option value="http://www.site3.com">Website 3</option>
        </select>
    </li>

and with javascript like so:

    var sd = opera.contexts.speeddial;

    var weburl = document.getElementById( 'website' );

    weburl.addEventListener( 'change', function() {
        sd.url = this.value;
    }, false );

    if ( sd.url ) {
        weburl.value = sd.url;
    }

In an attempt to change the destination of the Opera Speed Dial's URL when one clicks on it. But it does not work. I have a feeling that I've got to add some js to the main index.html, but I'm not so sure.

Could you show the rest of the code, for example put your unfinished extension online somewhere? — hallvors, Feb 20 '12 at 10:51

I think you need to keep in mind what order the code will run in.. In the code above, the

if ( sd.url ) {

part runs immediately, but the code that sets sd.url will only run when you choose something in the SELECT element. Hence, when the if - part runs, sd.url will not be set yet.

Does that help?

AKA: you need to set the `weburl` inside of the change function. – epascarello Feb 18 '12 at 13:42
Hm, reading you code again I see what you're trying to do. This answer did not make sense, sorry :-p – hallvors Feb 20 '12 at 10:47
