Error while trying to retrieve past transactions

dotnetjunkie

Hi!
I'm playing around with DApp development, and I'd like to retrieve from my Web UI the list of transactions belonging to a specific account; I'm trying to use the web3.eth.filter API:

var filter = web3.eth.filter({'fromBlock': 0, 'toBlock': 'latest', 'address': '[the address of the target account here]'}); filter.get(function(error, result) { if(!error) { for (i=0; i<result.length; ++i) { document.getElementById('txs').innerText = result[i]; } } else { document.getElementById('txs').innerText = error.stack; } });

Even if my scenario contains 3 transactions, I'm always getting an empty result.

What am I misunderstanding?

I even tried to use watch to track the ongoing transactions:

var filter = web3.eth.filter({'fromBlock': 0, 'toBlock': 'latest', 'address': '[the address of the target account here]'}); filter.watch<del class="Delete"></del>(function(error, result) { if(!error) { for (i=0; i<result.length; ++i) { document.getElementById('txs').innerText = result[i]; } } else { document.getElementById('txs').innerText = error.stack; } });

but I'm always getting an error:

Erorr: INVALID_PARAMS: Invalid method parameters (invalid name and/or type) recognised at Object.module.exports.InvalidResponse

Any idea?
Thank you !
