UI Page Processing Script is Not Starting

[Ryan Bray1]

Greetings,

I'm having trouble getting the processing script to engage in my instance. Basic functionality I'm looking for is a form button that pops up a window asking how many runs they'd like to execute which updates a field in the current form. Then a server side script executes. That's it!

I'm calling a UI page from a UI action. I believe the problem resides in the client script in the UI page but I can't find out where it is.

UI Action Details:

Name: Start Runs

Active enabled

Form Button enabled

Client enabled

OnClick: Onclick = numRunsDialog()

Client Script

function numRunsDialog(){

  var dialog = new GlideDialogWindow('loadsim_start_runs');

  dialog.render();

}

UI Page Details:

Name: loadsim_start_runs

Application: Global

Catagory: General

HTML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

      <section class="textarea_holder">

              <p>Please set number of runs to execute</p>

              <textarea rows="1" name="dialog_numRuns" id="dialog_numRuns" label="" value="" mandatory="true" class="form-control"/>

      </section>

  <br></br>

  <section class="button_holder">

  <button onclick="return validateNumRuns()">Submit</button>

  </section>

</j:jelly>

Client Script:

function validateNumRuns() {

  //Make sure there are comments to submit

  var numRuns = gel("dialog_numRuns").value;

  numRuns = trim(numRuns);

  //If less than 1, alert the user and stop submission

  if (numRuns < 1 || numRuns > 10 ) {

  alert("Please enter number of runs (max 10).");

  return false;

  }

  //If there is input, close the dialog window and submit them

  g_form.setValue("u_num_runs", numRuns); //Set the u_num_runs with value from the dialog

  g_form.save();

}

Processing Script:

gs.print('testing');

As you can see my current processing script is extremely simple (it used to be big but I trimmed it way down for debugging). I think there is an issue with the client script but I can't figure it out (have dumbed it down significantly to get to this point).

Please advise and I will give MANY UPVOTES!

Thanks,

Ryan

Answering my own question here. The problem was that I was missing the <g:ui_form> tag. Apparently leaving that tag off the HTML, causes the UI page to ignore the processing script.

Here is a fixed version of the HTMl field from my UI Page (added tags in bold).

HTML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

  <g:ui_form>

  <section class="textarea_holder">

              <p>Please set number of runs to execute</p>

              <textarea rows="1" name="dialog_numRuns" id="dialog_numRuns" label="" value="" mandatory="true" class="form-control"/>

      </section>

      <br></br>

      <section class="button_holder">

      <button type="submit" onclick="return validateNumRuns();">Submit</button>

      <input type="text" id="hidden1" value=""></input>

      </section>

  </g:ui_form>

</j:jelly>

Hopefully this answer is useful to someone other than me!
