getOption always return null

[bourhoud]

Hi all,

I have a problem for getting value of a choice list, in a client script.

In a form, I have a field, type choice, with any specified choices. Its name is u_quotation_type.

In a client script, I try to get dynamically the display value of an option.

For this, I'm trying to use g_form.getOption, and then get its innerText property.

And there, is the problem : my getOption always return null..

Below my (simple) code :

alert( g_form.getValue('u_quotation_type'));     // Displays "option"

alert(g_form.getOption("u_quotation_type", 'option')); // Displays null

alert(g_form.getOption("u_quotation_type", 'Option')); // Displays null

alert(g_form.getOption("u_quotation_type", g_form.getValue('u_quotation_type'))); // Displays null

I'm working on a Helsinki instance.

Can anyone give me help, please ?

Hi Pierre,

please right click on the 'u_quotation_type', click on configure dictionary. now here you can see list of choices which you have been given. Now it will have values for each choice. just re-write those values with numbers like 0,1,2,3.

Now write the synatx as fallows and execute.. it will work

example ::

alert(g_form.getOption("u_quotation_type", '1'));

Thanks.

Hope this is helpful

Still answer "null"

Am I alone to have this problem ? Maybe it appears in Helsinki version ?

Hi Pierre,

                      I think you can get an alert message for option too using getValue example try using

alert(g_form.getValue('subcategory', 'cpu'));

this will also show an alert message of the field option you want to. and here cpu is the value of the field. It can be a number or a name it depends on your field so you have to right click on the field label and go for configure dictionary and check the choice and field value of the choice you want to populate.

Thank you

please mark correct/helpful if applicable.
