strict mode and sharing code between client scripts - how to turn it off for the form?

[Rahman3]

Hi Guys,

I have some common code that need to share between couple of client scripts (onChange event). I have created a client script (onLoad) and copied the common code for reuse. But when I use it, I get the error that it can't find the common function. I am thinking its because of the following infomration at the top of the form:

"New client-scripts are run in strict mode, with direct DOM access disabled. Access to jQuery, prototype and the window object are likewise disabled. To disable this on a per-script basis, configure this form and add the "Isolate script" field. "

If this is the case how can I disable "Isolate script" only for this form? - Not gobally through system settings. In particular I want to know what this means "configure this form and add the "Isolate script" field."

Stepwise please.

Thanks

> Configure this form and add "Isolate Script" field

This means to configure the catalog client script form to show the field "Isolate script".

You cannot disable this on a "per form" basis but rather a "per script" or "for all globally scoped client-side scropts"

Hi,

I am getting same error.

New client-scripts are run in strict mode, with direct DOM access disabled. Access to jQuery, prototype and the window object are likewise disabled. To disable this on a per-script basis, configure this form and add the "Isolate script" field. To disable this feature for all new globally-scoped client-side scripts set the system property "glide.script.block.client.globals" to false.

I am using ServiceNow New York version. I added property and uncheck "Isolate script" field value. but still client script is not working. please suggest me solution.

I know this is old, but what I do is on an onLoad I define a function and allocate it to scratchpad.  Like:

g_scratchpad.myFunctionName = function (inputVar) {

*put your code here*

};

Then on any other script included, you should be able to use it like g_scratchpad.myFunctionName(inputVar);
