How to showFieldMsg onLoad and onChange client Script ?

[Kevin Smith2]

Hello Experts,

How can I show a field message onLoad and onChange in client script.

Here is my script:

function onLoad() {
	var timezone = g_form.getDisplayBox('u_time_zone').value;
	var ga = new GlideAjax('EServUtils');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'setDateTimeZone');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_time_zone', timezone);
	ga.getXML(getDateTimeZone);
	
	function getDateTimeZone(response) {
		var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer').toString();
		g_form.showFieldMsg('u_required_by','Current date/time for service location is ' + answer + ' (Time Zone: ' + timezone + ')'+', please select the date/time accordingly.','info');
	}
	
}

Please let me know.

Thanks

Kevin

Hi,

I think timezone will not be accessible in the call back function, out of scope.

And where you are concatenating answer, use answer.toString();

Rest should be fie 🙂

See what you are getting in the call back

function getDateTimeZone(response) {
		var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer').toString();
alert("answer =" + answer);
alert("timezone =" + timezone);
		g_form.showFieldMsg('u_required_by','Current date/time for service location is ' + answer.toString() + ' (Time Zone: ' + timezone + ')'+', please select the date/time accordingly.','info');
	}

answer = 2020-04-27 17:37:02

timezone = Europe/Berlin

Ok, I see that your script is currently onload of the form, to make it work onchange as well, copy the same script and run it onchange . Onchange script will run onload also unless stopped, so comment the isLoading check and you should be fine.
