Changing Hidden Values In Update Form

[bmarineau]

Hi,

 

I have an update form that contains 2 hidden fields.  Depending on the changes made in the form, the value of the hidden fields needs to change.  One of the fields is a dropdown what controls placement on a report.  I have added the following javascript to the footer.  Any changes I make to the data are saved in the table, however, the hidden fields never change.  Hopefully someone can spot the error in my code.

 

Thanks,

Bill

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

 

function concatenate1()

{

var Sched.Status = document.getElementById("EditRecordStatus").value;

var Control = document.getElementById("EditRecordID").value;

var Company = document.getElementById("EditRecordCompany").value;

var Company25 = Company.substring(0,25);

var Position = document.getElementById("EditRecordPosition").value;

var Date = document.getElementById("EditRecordDate_Open").value;

 

var CompanyPosition = Control + ' - ' + Company + ' (' + Position + ')';

 

document.getElementById("EditRecordCompany_Position").value = CompanyPosition;

 

if (Sched.Status == "Future Credit")

{

var DateControl = 'FC' + Date + ' - ' + Control + ' - ' + Company25;

} else {

var DateControl = Date + ' - ' + Control + ' - ' + Company25;

}

 

document.getElementById("EditRecordDate_Control").value = DateControl;

 

}

 

document.getElementById("caspioform").onsubmit=concatenate1;

</SCRIPT>

Hello Bill,

 

May the problem be in the dot in the name of the variable?

The Sched.Status is present in the code. I hope, if you change it to, for example, SchedStatus the code will work.

Hi Jan,

 

Thanks so much.  I've been looking / tweeking this on and off for a few days.  Can't believe I missed something so simple.  Another set of knowledgeable eyes are a wonderful thing.
