Javascript Example isn´t working

[Former Member]

Hello

I´m trying to set the value of an inputField via Javascript. I found the following example in the pdk documentation:

Getting the inputField object in JavaScript:

function calculateCurrencyFromTo(){

var funcName = htmlb_formid+"_getHtmlbElementId";

func = window[funcName];

var inputfield = eval(func("currencyDisplay"));

// Now we have the inputField, so we can access it, for example set a new value

if (inputfield)

inputfield.setValue("100.23");

}

The only thing, that i´ve changed is the field id according to my field id.

I don´t have any clue why it isn´t working.

Do you have any ideas, or other solutions to fill an input field via javasrcipt

regards

I use this:

function getHtmlbElement( pElementId )

{

var loDocForms = document.forms;

for( var i=0; i<loDocForms.length; i++ )

{

try

{

var funcName = loDocForms<i>.id + "_getHtmlbElementId";

func = window[funcName];

var element = eval( func(pElementId) );

if(element)

{

return element;

}

}

catch( ex )

{

}

}

}

Cause it could be that there are multiple forms on the current page. The parameter 'elementId' is the id defined on the server.

thank you very much

you were right about the multiple forms problem.

i had to change the "var funcName..." line to

var funcName=loDocForms [ i ] .id+"_getHtmlbElementId";

it seems that the forum software will ingnore statements like [ i ] if they are written without spaces.
