HTML Question

[braxwell]

Hello Im using the following code:

 

<script>
document.getElementById('InsertRecordVisit_Type').onchange = function () {{

var currentdate = new Date();
var datetime = (currentdate.getMonth()+1) + "/"
                + currentdate.getDate()  + "/"
                + currentdate.getFullYear() + " "  ;
document.getElementById('InsertRecordDate').value = datetime;
document.getElementById('InsertRecordAccessory_1').value = "Cord";

}}
</script>

 

All is working fine except I cannot get the Accessory_1 value to change - this is a dropdown field that is the parent field for and autocomplete field.   what do I need to add to get the parent field to accept the instructions ?

 

Thanks!!!

Hi Braxwell,

For dropdowns and AutoComplete form elements, Caspio attach a hash value to the ID, making it impossible to access them via document.getElementById(). The correct way to access them is via document.getElementsByName(FIELD_NAME)[0].

As such, I have updated the codes for both InsertRecordVisit_Type (parent dropdown) and InsertRecordAccessory_1 (AutoComplete) fields. The updated code should now look like this:

<script>
document.getElementsByName('InsertRecordVisit_Type')[0].onchange = function ()  {
var currentdate = new Date();
var datetime = (currentdate.getMonth()+1) + "/"
                + currentdate.getDate()  + "/"
                + currentdate.getFullYear() + " "  ;
document.getElementById('InsertRecordDate').value = datetime;
document.getElementsByName('InsertRecordAccessory_1')[0].value = "Cord";
}
</script>

Hope this helps.
