Use of 'contains' in catalog client script

[arohi]

I have one requirement as there is a reference field( referred to User table). When a user selected next field should appear as per type of user.

User are classified on basis of DN.

So one type is DN = <u_dn>uid=AAA-User,ou=Applications,o=Intra,dc=sears,dc=com</u_dn>

and other is = <u_dn>uid=AAA-User,ou=People,o=Intra,dc=sears,dc=com</u_dn>

I was trying to write a catalog client script on change,

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
      if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      g_form.setVisible('type_of_access',false);
  g_form.setVisible('access_type',false);
          return;
    }  

var ID = g_form.getValue('select_id_for_access');
var DN = g_form.getValue('ID.u_dn');

//if (DN == '<u_dn>uid=AAA-User,ou=Applications,o=Intra,dc=sears,dc=com</u_dn>')
if(ID.u_dn.indexOf('ou=Applications') >=0)
  {
    g_form.setVisible('type_of_access',true);
  }
if (ID.u_dn == '<u_dn>uid=AAA-User,ou=people,o=Intra,dc=sears,dc=com</u_dn')
  {
    g_form.setVisible('access_type',true);
  }
}

I would like to know how can I use 'Contains' in this script, so that I can add 'DN contains ou=Applications'.

I tried using 'indexof' but it wasn't much helpful.

Please suggest.

TIA.

Hi Arohi,

getValue() will just give the sys_id of the reference field.   Can you try by using the getReference() Method, something similar as below

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

      if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

      g_form.setVisible('type_of_access',false);

  g_form.setVisible('access_type',false);

          return;

    }  

//var ID = g_form.getValue('select_id_for_access');

//var DN = g_form.getValue('ID.u_dn');

var ID = g_form.getReference('select_id_for_access', doAlert);

function doAlert(ID)

{

//if (DN == '<u_dn>uid=AAA-User,ou=Applications,o=Intra,dc=sears,dc=com</u_dn>')

if(ID.u_dn.indexOf('ou=Applications') >=0)

  {

    g_form.setVisible('type_of_access',true);

  }

if (ID.u_dn == '<u_dn>uid=AAA-User,ou=people,o=Intra,dc=sears,dc=com</u_dn')

  {

    g_form.setVisible('access_type',true);

  }

}

}
