getValue Not Returning Anything in onSubmit Script

[Bradford Shelle]

I'm running through an onSubmit() Catalog Client Script trying to get it to work.

When I run a getValue on a field during an onChange() script, I can see the value of the field I'm looking at no problem. As soon as it's an onSubmit() script though, I don't get a value returned to me.

function onSubmit() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var client = g_form.getReference('u_client', getClientEmail);
}


function getClientEmail(client) {
   if (client.email != g_form.getValue('u_client_email')) {
   var email = g_form.getValue('u_client_email');
   alert("Email is: " + email + " and Client is: " + client.sys_id);
   var ga = new GlideAjax('clientEmail');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getClientEmail');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_client', client.sys_id);
   ga.addParam('sysparm_email', email);
   ga.getXMLwait();
   }
}

You can see on lines 8 and 9 I'm doing a getValue, and on line 10 I'm just doing a sanity check to make sure that the different parameters I'm passing through to a Script Include actually work.

I've tried poking around to see if there was some conflict with doing a getValue on an onSubmit catalog client script, but nothing was jumping out at me. Does anyone have any ideas?

Is it returning null or just a blank value when you log out the value?

[Bradford Shelle]

Just blank. Both on the alert and when I log after passing it through to a script include.

One other thing is that if you're already using an ajax call, I would not do the getReference() as you're doing 2 server roundtrips when you can do everything through the ajax call. Srinivas may be right that doing the getValue from inside the callback may be causing some issues.

Hi Bradford,

I suspect getReference CallBack in a onsubmit script is the issue.

I would suggest you to verify the same by adding return false at the end of the onSubmit script

Thanks
