Fixing concatenate function in JS code

[Heineperson]

Hello,

I have been using the following code in the footer of a details data page. It previously worked to concatenate an autocompleted value from a virtual field with a text area field called "associatedSpecies." This is based on the javascript solution from Caspio below, but I'm not sure if this is no longer supported by more recent browsers? Does anyone have any insight on how I might make this work again?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function concatenate()
{
var x0 = document.getElementsByName("EditRecordassociatedSpecies")[0].value;
var x1 = document.getElementsByName("cbParamVirtual2")[0].value;

if (x0 && x1) {
 document.getElementsByName("EditRecordassociatedSpecies")[0].value = x0+"; "+x1;
} else { 
 document.getElementsByName("EditRecordassociatedSpecies")[0].value = x0 + x1;
} 

}

document.getElementById("caspioform").onsubmit=concatenate;
</SCRIPT>

Hi @Heineperson, 

Caspio has stopped supporting onsubmit code:  https://howto.caspio.com/release-notes/caspio-bridge-13-0/13-0-impacted-areas/

Please try the following fix:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.addEventListener('BeforeFormSubmit', function (event) {
var x0 = document.getElementsByName("EditRecordassociatedSpecies")[0].value;
var x1 = document.getElementsByName("cbParamVirtual2")[0].value;

if (x0 && x1) {
 document.getElementsByName("EditRecordassociatedSpecies")[0].value = x0+"; "+x1;
} else { 
 document.getElementsByName("EditRecordassociatedSpecies")[0].value = x0 + x1;
} 
});
</SCRIPT>

@BaySunshine - Thank you so much! This worked perfectly!!!

Hi @Heineperson,

 

I hope you could still find this useful. But, just to give you an update, you can do concatenation without using JavaScript. 

You can use Calculated Value in your form. You may check this link for reference: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/datapage-components/calculated-values/
