Using Caspio Table Field Value Within Script Tags

[allansheth]

Does anyone know if it's possible to access field values within script tags within a HTML Block?

For example is this possible within a HTML Block on a datapage?

<script>
document.write([@field:FIELDNAME])
</script>

The above is just a simple example. In reality I want to do a conditional check using IF..THEN..ENDIF.

Hi Allan,

Yes it is possible by calling the element.

If it is a Web Form the field Ids are InsertRecordFIELDNAME so you could retrieve the value by the following code:

document.getElementById(\"InsertRecordFIELDNAME\");

If it is a Search and Report details page, the field Id is EditRecordFIELDNAME so you could retrieve the value by the following code:

document.getElementById(\"EditRecordFIELDNAME\");

You could also get more idea on how to use Java script with Caspio Bridge by looking at the library of Java Script solutions in the site at http://www.caspio.com/support/jssolution.asp

Best,

Bahar M.

Thanks Bahar. I'll check out the examples as well & bone-up on my javascript

On a separate topic (one that I posted earlier but got no response to) is there a way to populate a local recordset (ADO, XML, etc?) using web services?

I am completely new to WS but imagine that connecting to and retrieving a recordset is pretty universal. I mean there is probably a universal method that works with any caspio account, with a few minor changes. If so can I get a sample code snippet?
