How to script a contains condition in client script?

[E_19]

Hi All,

I have having trouble scripting a condition that will check if my value contains a certain value.

This is on incident and the field to check is reference Company name field from core_company table.

I have retrieved the value using Ajax call and now I want to check if it contains a value like Dutch Re

if(g_form.getValue('gr.name') ????? 'Dutch Re')

I have read upon using indexOf but may attempts trying to use it failed. Idea is if IndexOf finds < -1 it should indicate the value is there

and then I want to show or hide section tabs.

If anyone can advise or have another suggestion that be greart.

Thanks

Ellie

try using variablename.indexof('Dutch re') > -1 or variablename.indexof('Dutch re') >= 0

to hide or show section g_form.setSectiondisplay('name of the section',true or false);

Hi Sujala,

Thanks for replying but how would I have to construct the if statement?

I have tried if(g_form.getValue('gr. name').IndexOf (('Dutch Re') >-1  

but that didn't do anything.

Many Thanks,

Ellie

its the syntax .. i should be small case. its   -- indexOf() function.

and does gr.name variable exist on the form or its a result of any table query

try displaying the value of gr.name   and see if it is empty or its Dutch re

[dvp]

indexOx function is available only for array type not to string

try using split function like below

var arr = str.split('Dutch re');

if(arr.length >1)
