Access UI elements value in client script

[anand98900]

Hi

I am trying to create UI page and access values of UI element in Client script.

Ex -   I had created UI page   as

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
   <g:ui_form>
             <g:ui_reference query="QUERY:active=true" name="user_id" id="user_id" table="sys_user" />
   </g:ui_form>
</j:jelly>

and I tried to access the value of ui_refernce element in client script by

          var id = g_form.getValue('user_id');

but in client script, i am unable to access the value of UI elements.

Can anyone please help me.

Hi Anand,

g_form is not available in UI Pages. You will have to use DOM manipulation (either document.getElementById() or gel() calls). This is the only place in ServiceNow where DOM access is approved in client scripts.
