Document ready UI Script

[Daryll Conway]

I'm trying to use a document ready function in a UI Script to capture the current user...

var $j = jQuery.noConflict(true);
               $j(document).ready(function () {
                       user = gs.getUserID();
                       alert(user);
               });

This doesn't work.

Has anyone used a document ready function in a UI script or an equivalent that has worked.

Failing that can anyone tell me how I can get the current user in a UI Script?

Hi,

Please try the client side expressions

var userName = g_user.userName;

    alert('Current user = ' + userName);

[ProbirDas]

Var usr = "${gs.getUserID ()}";

alert (usr);

I have used document ready function in couple of UI pages.. Works just well. The only error I notice here is

gs.getUserID();   which is a server side function.. Make use of the equivalent client side object and that should work just fine ...

I've tried using g_user.userID but I get an undefined.

This is purely a UI script that act's upon the 'nav_header_stripe_decorations' element (the top banner).

Just wanted to clarify I'm not using a UI Page (otherwise I would have used jelly to solve this, which I've done before)
