I am trying to use React eventsto access a custom "value" assigned to a button, but I get different results depending on where I click the button. I can probably use getDOMNode()or this.stateto get the desired result, but I'm a little confused about how to use React Events and its behavior.
Is it better to use synthetic events for a single element such as <input>? Is there a way to get the value of a button using responsive events?
Note. I use bootstrap glyphicon inside the element <button>.
var Content = React.createClass({
handleClick: function(e) {
console.log( e.target );
},
render: function() {
return (
<div>
<button type="button" value="button1" className="btn btn-default" onClick={this.handleClick}><span className="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span> Submit</button>
</div>
)
}
});
Jsfiddle
resultsconsole.log (e.target):
Hover over the glyphicon and click.
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok" data-reactid=".0.0.0"></span>
""
<span data-reactid=".0.0.1"> Submit</span>
<button type="button" value="button1" class="btn btn-default" data-reactid=".0.0"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok" data-reactid=".0.0.0"></span><span data-reactid=".0.0.1"> Submit</span></button>
