Hi everyone,

I am facing an issue in the latest Australia version of ServiceNow. While writing a Client Script with the "onLoad" type, I am not getting the alert message in the browser.

Could anyone please guide me on how to resolve this issue?

 

Thank you.

Hello @gavarlamoun ,

 

Here are a few things you can check to resolve it:

 

1. Verify the Client Script configuration

  • UI Type = `All` or correct UI experience
  • No condition preventing execution

2. Check if you are using Workspace / Next Experience
In Agent Workspace or Next Experience, traditional alert() behavior can be inconsistent or blocked. Try using: g_form.addInfoMessage("Test message"); instead of alert().

3. Open Browser Developer Console
Press F12 - Console tab and check for JavaScript errors. Another script error may be stopping execution.

4. Clear cache

5. Check Isolate Script setting - If “Isolate script” is enabled, try disabling it temporarily for testing.

 

If this helps, kindly mark the answer as helpful/correct.

 

Thanks,

Priyanka
