Hello,

I'm working on the new Jazilla branch (Jazilla-NG/based on jXUL) and
when I created a "File -> Open Web Location" clone, I wondered how can
I capture text from the text field when I can't access it from the
event handler. Anyway, this is my code:

function openURL() {
        frame = Packages.javax.swing.JFrame();
        frame.setTitle("Go to URL");
        URLField = Packages.javax.swing.JTextField("http://typeinaurlinthistextfield");
        GoTo = Packages.javax.swing.JButton("Go");
        panel = Packages.javax.swing.JPanel();
        panel.add(new Packages.javax.swing.JLabel("Type in a URL, or a
chrome resource"));
        panel.add(URLField);
        panel.add(GoTo);
        frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
        frame.setSize(new Packages.java.awt.Dimension(400,100));
        frame.setVisible(true);             
}
Now, If I create an ActionListener against GoTo, I have a problem, I
can't call URLField.getText()?. Can someone tell me how to do this?
