-maxrecs="2">, though it's not obvious why anyone would do that.)

WIDGET PROPERTIES AND METHODS
=============================
-String this.type -- a string containing the type of the widget.
+String this.type
+ A string containing the type of the widget.
-Team this.team -- the team object to which this widget belongs. The
- team has several additional important properties and methods,
- described below.
+Team this.team
+ The team object to which this widget belongs. The team has
+ several additional important properties and methods, described
+ below.
-DOMElement this.node -- the DOM element of the widget
+DOMElement this.node
+ The DOM element of the widget
-Hash this.config -- a table of configuration values for the
- widget. This table inherits missing values from the team's
- configuration, which in turn inherits from the top-level MKWS
- configuration, which inherits from the default
- configuration. Instances of widgets in HTML can set
- configuration items as HTML attributes, as in <div
- class="mkwsRecords" maxrecs="2">.

-String this.toString() -- a function returning a string that briefly
- names this widget. Can be useful in logging.
+String this.toString()
+ A function returning a string that briefly names this
+ widget. Can be useful in logging.
-Void this.log(string) -- a function to log a string for debugging
- purposes. The string is written on the browser console, and
- also published to any "log" subcribers.
+Void this.log(string)
+ A function to log a string for debugging purposes. The string
+ is written on the browser console, and also published to any
+ "log" subcribers.
+
+String this.value()
+ A function returning the value of the widget's HTML element.
TEAM METHODS
Num team.perpage()
Num team.totalRecordCount()
Num team.currentPage();
-String team.currentRecordId() -- simple accessor functions that
- provide the ability to read properties of the team.
-
-Array team.filters() -- another accessor function, providing access to
- the array of prevailing filters (which narrow the search
- results by means of Pazpar2 filters and limits). This is
- really too complicated an object for the widgets to be given
- access to, but it's convenient to do it this way. See the
- "Navi" widget, which is the only place it's used.
-
-Hash team.config() -- access to the team's configuration
- settings. There is almost certainly no reason to use this: the
- settings that haven't been overridden are accessible via
- this.config.

Void team.set_sortOrder(string)
-Void team.set_perpage(number) -- "setter" functions for the team's
- sortOrder and perpage functions. Unlikely to be needed outside
- of the "Sort" and "Perpage" widgets.
+Void team.set_perpage(number)
+ "Setter" functions for the team's sortOrder and perpage
+ functions. Unlikely to be needed outside of the "Sort" and
+ "Perpage" widgets.
Queue team.queue(eventName)
Returns the queue associated with the named event: this can be
used to subscribe to the event (or more rarely to publish it).
Bool team.targetFiltered(targetId)
-
-
-team.log(string)
-team.newSearch(query, sortOrder, maxrecs, perpage, limit, targets, targetfilter)
-team.recordElementId(recordId)
-team.currentRecordData()
-team.renderDetails(recordData)
-team.loadTemplate(templateName)
-team.resetPage()
-team.reShow()
+ Indicates whether the specified target has been filtered by
+ selection as a facet.
+
+Void team.newSearch(query, sortOrder, maxrecs, perpage, limit, targets, targetfilter)
+ Starts a new search with the specified parameters. All but the
+ query may be omitted, in which case the prevailing defaults
+ are used.
+
+Void team.reShow()
+ Using the existing search, re-shows the result records after a
+ change in sort-order, per-page count, etc.
+
+String team.recordElementId(recordId)
+ Utility function for converting a record identifer (returned
+ from Pazpar2) into a version suitable for use as an HTML
+ element ID.
+
+String team.renderDetails(recordData)
+ Utility function returns an HTML rendering of the record
+ represented by the specified data.
+
+Template team.loadTemplate(templateName)
+ Loads (or retrieves from cache) the named Handlebars template,
+ and returns it in a form that can be invoked as a function,
+ passed a data-set.
+
+Some of these methods either (A) are really too low-level and should
+not be exposed, or (B) should be widget-level methods. The present
+infelicities reflect the fact that some code that rightly belongs in
+widgets is still in the team. When we finish migrating it, the widget
+API should get simpler.
