ClientScript - onSubmit() - How to get value of a reference field by dot walking?

[Halo10110]

I am creating onSubmit client script and need to access of the reference field's table field value...I tried it by dotwalking but it didnt let me...I would liek to compare two values like this on my form (both reference fields)...anyone can help me?

I tried this:

function onSubmit() {
	if(g_form.getValue('u_business.u_active') == false){
		alert('Record submission aborted.');
		return false;
	}

with no luck...

That's right, my bad. You can edit and modify the rest of your code 🙂 I have seen Ankur has given good code for this.

Tr using getReference.

Hi,

You cannot dot walk in client script on reference field/variable

try to use getReference with callback

function onSubmit(){

var business = g_form.getReference('u_business', getValue);

}

function getValue(business){

if(business.u_active.toString() == 'false')

return false;

else

return true;

}

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
