Difference between .value and .getValue()?
June 10, 2016 12:00 AM
When accessing variable values via JavaScript, should I use VarMyLittleVariable.value or VarMyLittleVariable.getValue()? They seem to return same thing as far as I tested (see screenshot).

When a variable value is changed due to an action. Like when you answer a question and the question variable gets changed to correct.
It's VarCurrentView.getValue(), not CurrentView.getValue().
I asked around for this question. Essentially they are the same thing however .getValue() is the best to use. When an override is in place it usually effects .value.
Allthough a bit out of context... Tried to access CurrentView.getValue() but didnot get it back in Javascript. Testing it in Lectora itself, it was available... Any clues ?
Thank you! What is the 'override' you are referring to?
Oh yeah forgot that one.... and indeed it works now... before i banged my head against my screen and couldnt get it .... probably plain overlooking it... thx Sergey..
