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;
               }
       }               
}

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. }

Hi Josh,



The getXMLWait() function does not need a separate callback function. Please find the more details below. Thank you!
