copy virtual field value to field in submission form


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the adjustment for this code to work? I'm trying to copy the value of a Virtual field (drop down)  to a regular text field, on a button's click.

 

Here's the code I'm working with:

<div style="text-align: center;">
<input class= "cb_custom_btn" type="submit" onclick="myfunction()" value="Submit" />
 
<script>
function myfunction()
{

var virtualval = document.getElementByID("cbParamVirtual4").value;
document.getElementByID("InsertRecordMyFieldName").value = virtualval;
}
</script>
</div>

I'd also tried the ElementsByName with [0] for cascading values but that doesn't work either..

What's weird is I've used code similar to this for the same purpose with no problem so I must be missing some minute detail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend separating html and java script. Also you should use getElementById instead of getElementByID.

Try using html code in html block:

<div style="text-align: center;">
<input type="submit" onclick="myfunction()" value="Submit" />
</div>

And the following script in the footer:

<script>
function myfunction()
{

var virtualval = document.getElementsByName("cbParamVirtual4")[0].value;

document.getElementById("InsertRecordMyFieldName").value = virtualval;
}
</script>

Hi Mathilda,

Thanks very much for the help with that- it works nicely. 

That said, the function I'm trying to work out as morphed since I posted this- I've put it on a different page, if you'd like to take a look. This thread was a question on a specific part of what I'm trying to do- as I've found other limitations (of my own ability with js) I've tried to lay out the whole process there.
