Is it possible to have javascript to get data from a virtual field which has the form element cascading text field

[Jonathan]

Hi,

While being fairly new to javascript. I was wondering if it is possible to do a calculation with a Virtual field which is set up as cascading text field to look up information from a different table. I cannot get it to work while when using a regular text field and the data is put in manually it works.

Hello Jonathan,

Try something like this: var x = document.getElementsByName("cbParamVirtual1")[0].value;

You may want to take a look at the post on Caspio Form Elements for more references as well.

You can try

 

<script>
document.getElementById("caspioform").onsubmit = function(){
document.getElementById("cbParamVirtual1"). value = document.getElementsByName("cascading form element NAME")[0].value;
}
</script>

You need to get the cascading element NAME not the ID (Since cascading ID changes on each page load) and place it there.

thanks for all the help. In the end I got rid of the virtual field and used:

var test = parseFloat(document.getElementsByName("InsertRecordADR_2015")[0].value);

Yes if you do not want to shoe the value in the page and only to use it in your code you can create a variable

I would like to do the opposite but am running into issues.  I want to use javascript to set the value of a Virtual field to the referring domain.  I am using the following code in the footer of a datapage.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

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