Can you assign a Virtual field's value with javascript

[MikeDDDD]

I am using the following code but doesn't seem to store the document.referrer string.  What am I doing wrong?

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener("DataPageReady", function (event) {
    document.getElementById('cbParamVirtual7').value = document.referrer;
});
</script>

Where, and how, are you placing the code?

* I tried your code and it works for me.

I have this script in the footer of a submission form.  (I have tried html as the very last field also but with no luck)

Virtual7 is set to render value as text.

My goal is that once Virtual7 receives the document.referrer string, it then gets passed as a parameter to a report datapage.  I want it to print on the report page, but get a blank result.  

Thanks for checking this out for me.  I've been stuck on this for a few days now.

Do you have the Virtual7 form field set as:

Form element: Text Field

 

If you have Virtual7 set as display only like:

Form element: Display Only

it won't work.

I appreciate your help.  It was set to display only.  (never would have guessed that!)

I have switched it to a text field but am still getting a blank on the report page. 

I pass it as a parameter to another virtual field in my report datapage (received onload).  I have that Virtual filed set to display only.  Does it need to be a text field as well? 

[MikeDDDD]

This is my test application if it helps.  The virtual field that receives the parameter should be the first one displayed (right under search again).

You need to pass the "Virtual7" value as a "parameter" in your form's advance setting for that field- such as:

On exit:

Pass field value as parameter:

[@Virtual7]

Then on your report page have that virtual field set as display only, but also have it set to receive the parameter:

Receive value or parameter:
External Parameters = [@Virtual7]

Also .. the referrer field will ONLY capture the domain address if the previous page links to your page.

It must be a REFERRING domain.. so an active page on a live domain will work .. testing from your 'puter on a local page (from your 'puter) will not.

I finally got this to work.  I was loading it as a referral from an active live domain, but apparently if the link opens in a new window it does not work.  As soon as I changed that it started displaying the domain.  Not critical, but if you know of a workaround, please share.

I can't thank you enough for guiding me toward this present  solution.  Bravo Sir!

What was your code for the link opening  a new window? 

Were you using <a href="somecaspioURL" target="_blank"> LINK HERE</a>?

 

The code target="_blank"  works for me.
