Gel function

[dipesh1]

Hi All

1)When I use code like this what does it essentially mean?

2)What are these "sys_display" , "sys_uniqueVaule" ? are there any more of them? can I get a link of there description?

  gel('sys_display.ecc_agent').value = Name;

    sysId = gel('sys_uniqueValue').value;

Thanks

Hello Diplesh,

gel is a shortcut for document.getElementById (Docs of the function Document.getElementById() - Web API Interfaces | MDN)

sys_display.ecc_agent is the value for the id attribute of an element in the DOM. Same goes to sys_uniqueValue

.

You can use DOM inspector to get the exact id of the element you want to match.

EDIT: sys_uniqueValue is the id for an element that contains the sys_id of the current form

so you could use the following code to get the sys_id of the current record:

var sysid_gel = gel('sys_uniqueValue');

var sysid = sysid_gel.value;

sys_display.ecc_agent is most likely a field in the form

Thanks

When an id is prefixed by "sys_display", it is usually a reference field.
