Alternative method for document.getElementById()

[Anusha Dande]

Hi

Can anyone please help with an alternative method for document.getElementById() as DOM manipulation should be avoided in client scripts

Below is the example code

try

{

var attachments = document.getElementById('header_attachment_list_label');
if (attachments.style.visibility == 'hidden' || attachments.style.display == 'none') {
if ((g_form.getValue('u_transition_personal_sim_card_to_corporate_mobile_plan_is_required') == 'yes')) {
alert('Document attachment is mandatory for request submission.');
return false;
}
}

Did you check the script I shared?

You need not use GlideAjax and script include.

If this is for a catalog item just make an attachment variable then make it mandatory.

See my guide on all the different ways this can be achieved below:
