Having a problem with innerHTML in Client Script

[TrenaFritsche]

I am trying to hide the submit button on a record producer and I have found several of the various solutions and they do not seem to be working.   I found two different pieces of code and when I add alert statements to the code to see the values, both sets of code seems to find something 6 times, but the value of inner is empty so both scripts do not work.   Thoughts?

Here is the 2   code samples:

@

function onLoad() {

  //get all of the BUTTON tag elements in the document

  var refs = document.getElementsByTagName("BUTTON");

  //Remove the Submit button

  if (refs) {

      for (var i=0; i < refs.length; i++) {

          var ref = refs[i];

          var inner = ref.innerHTML;

          //check for the 'Submit' value on the button

          if (inner == 'Submit'){

              ref.style.display = 'none';

          }

      }

  }

}

or

function onLoad() {

      var buttons = document.getElementsByTagName("BUTTON"); //get an array of all the buttons on the form

      if(buttons) { //we have some values in the array

              for(var i=0; i<buttons.length; i++) { //loop through all of the buttons

                    var button = buttons[i]; //get the current button from the array

                    var inner = button.innerHTML; //get the innerHTML from the current array element

  alert("inner.toString is " + inner.toString());

                    if(inner.toString().toLowerCase().indexOf('submit') > -1) { //we found the Submit button

                            alert('Submit button found');

      if(newValue == 'Yes') { //this is the condition under which we'll hide the Submit button

                                  button.style.display = 'none';

                          } else { //show the Submit button

                                            button.style.display = '';

                          } //hide the Submit button (else) show it

                    } //we found the Submit button

              } //loop through all of the buttons

      } //we have some values in the array

}

I think the innerHTML on that button is actually " Submit " with spaces before and after. I was able to get this to work in a berlin instance:

var btns = $$('button');

for (key in btns) {

   var btn = btns[key];

       var inner = btn.innerHTML;

       if (inner == ' Submit ') {

               btn.hide();

       }

}

In calgary that submit button is now an <a></a> but it has a class so you can use that to hide it a bit more easily.

That still does not work...

I changed the 'Submit' to be ' Submit ' and nothing,

I changed it to say the class name and nothing,

I tried the code you pasted in the answer and it didn't work either.

When I put an alert statement to show the value of inner, inner is blank 6 times and never goes into the "if".

function onLoad() {

  //get all of the BUTTON tag elements in the document

  var refs = document.getElementsByTagName("BUTTON");

  //Remove the Submit button

  if (refs) {

      for (var i=0; i < refs.length; i++) {

          var ref = refs[i];

          var inner = ref.innerHTML;

    alert("inner = " + inner);

          //check for the 'Submit' value on the button

          if (inner == ' Submit '){

              ref.style.display = 'none';

          }

      }

  }

}

A record producer's Submit button in HTML (in Calgary) looks like this:

<a class="request_catalog_button" href="#" onclick="saveProducer(''); return flase;"></a>

I don't see how your two scripts would ever work on this since it is an anchor tag, not a button tag.

Since there is only one instance of the Submit button on the page and it seems to be the only element with the class of 'request_catalog_button', you can hide is like this:

var els = document.getElementsByClassName('request_catalog_button');

//alert(els.length); //alerts 1
els[0].style.display='none';

Just place it in an onLoad.

Which version of Service-Now is your instance running?

Thank you Justin!   That worked!   I am pretty new at html stuff, so every little bit helps!
