Hi,
How can I add shadow text for ServiceNow forms? I dont see any option to add it in the Studio - Forms.
I'm looking for something like this (In the text filed - "Optional - Enter Phone No").
Any workaround or help is highly appreciated Thank you.
By default, ServiceNow blocks updating DOM objects in scoped applications.
You need to add below system property and set it to false.
glide.script.block.client.globals
and use below function to set placeholder text in on load script.
u_addPlaceholderAttribute('field_name', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
function u_addPlaceholderAttribute(variableName, hint) {
var fieldName;
try{
if(variableName.indexOf('phone') >= 0)
{
fieldName = g_form.getControl(variableName).name.toString();
fieldName = 'disp_'+fieldName;
}
else{
fieldName = g_form.getControl(variableName).name.toString();
}
if (Prototype.Browser.IE) {
fieldName.placeholder = hint;
} else {
$(fieldName).writeAttribute('placeholder', hint);
}
} catch(err) {}
}
