getxmlwait() not working onSubmit

[Community Alums]

I am trying to use getXMLWait() to stop a catalog item form submission, but this method is not working.   The form still submits.  

function onSubmit() {
       var emailGA = new GlideAjax('EmailAutoGeneration');
       emailGA.addParam('sysparm_name', 'generateEmailAddress');
       emailGA.addParam('sysparm_preferred_first_name', g_form.getValue('preferred_first_name'));
       emailGA.addParam('sysparm_preferred_last_name', g_form.getValue('preferred_last_name'));
       emailGA.addParam('sysparm_middle_name',   g_form.getValue('middle_name'));
       emailGA.getXMLWait(respParse);
       function respParse(response){
               var myObj = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
               var emailResp = JSON.parse(myObj);
               g_form.hideFieldMsg('email_address',true);
               g_form.setValue('email_address', emailResp.email.toString(), emailResp.email.toString());
               if(!emailResp.emailOk){
                       g_form.showFieldMsg('email_address',emailResp.msg.toString(),'error',true);
                       //disable the "Order Now" and "Add to Cart" buttons
                       document.getElementById("order_now").disabled=true;
                       document.getElementById("add_to_cart_button").disabled=true;
                       alert('test');
                       return false;
               }
       }               
}

Hi Josh,

You should use emailGA.getAnswer(), to get a response instead of calling a call back function.

Below is an example.

var ga = new GlideAjax('HelloWorld');

ga.addParam('sysparm_name','helloWorld');

ga.addParam('sysparm_user_name',"Bob");

ga.getXMLWait();

alert(ga.getAnswer());

Your coe should be

emailGA.getXMLWait();

var myObj = emailGA.getAnswer();

Hi sanjiv,

ga.getXMLWait(); is not working for my some of requirement.

Error: getXMLWait() No longer supported

could you please tell me what would be another way to resolve it?

Thanks

Can you provide me the complete requirement?

I know getXMLWait wont work for scoped app. You will have to find another way.

I would try:

1. function onSubmit() {  
2.          
3.          
4.       var emailGA = new GlideAjax('EmailAutoGeneration');  
5.       emailGA.addParam('sysparm_name', 'generateEmailAddress');  
6.       emailGA.addParam('sysparm_preferred_first_name', g_form.getValue('preferred_first_name'));  
7.       emailGA.addParam('sysparm_preferred_last_name', g_form.getValue('preferred_last_name'));  
8.       emailGA.addParam('sysparm_middle_name',   g_form.getValue('middle_name'));  
9.  
10.          
11. emailGA.getXMLWait();
12. var myObj =   emailGA.getAnswer()
13.        
14.               var emailResp = JSON.parse(myObj);  
15.                  
16.               g_form.hideFieldMsg('email_address',true);  
17.               g_form.setValue('email_address', emailResp.email.toString(), emailResp.email.toString());  
18.                  
19.               if(!emailResp.emailOk){  
20.                       g_form.showFieldMsg('email_address',emailResp.msg.toString(),'error',true);  
21.                       //disable the "Order Now" and "Add to Cart" buttons  
22.                       document.getElementById("order_now").disabled=true;  
23.                       document.getElementById("add_to_cart_button").disabled=true;  
24.                       alert('test');  
25.                       return false;  
26.               }  
28. }
