Call GWT method from javascript

[Holger Herrmann]

Hi all,

I'm facing a problem calling a method from my gwt code using javascript.

At the start of my application this method is called:

	private native void setUpGwtApi()/*-{					$wnd.callMethodFromJavaScript =$entry(@de.roedl.crm.neutral.gwt.client.ctrl.ApplicationCtrl::callMethodFromJavaScript(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;));
										}-*/;

In ApplicationCtrl, I have this method:

	public static void callMethodFromJavaScript(String maskId, String methodName, String argument) {
        // do something
    }

Within a textarea, a javascript call ist fired like the following:

<a onclick="callMethodFromJavaScript('KnowledgeManagementSearchResult','showSingleKmResult','3555764'); return false;" href="#">

But instead of calling the method, the application just reloads.

Any ideas anybody?

Thanks in advance!
Holger
