Hello Kumar,

In the standard forms UI (eg client scripts, client ui actions) - by default, we block access to the DOM and certain top-level globals (window, document, $ / jquery). You can enable an application-specific property to gain access to the DOM.

You can enable an application-specific property to gain access to the DOM. This provides a good tradeoff by setting a default with best practice guard rails, and allowing a developer to take explicit action to opt out of the best practice.

With the explicit property ServiceNow can:

On store submission, know that an app wants raw DOM manipulation and can pay more attention to it in the certification process Give it a lower "upgradability/maintainability" score Warn the developer on submission that they are going to need to re-certify the app on every major release, etc.

To opt out of the best practice create the following property in your scope and set it to false. glide.script.block.client.globals

Thanks pradeepksharma . you are simply superb.. Using of this property will not cause any bad consequences ?

Can i use this without any fear ?

Thanks Kumar for your kind words.

Avoid Document Object Model (DOM) manipulation if possible. It can cause a maintainability issue when browsers are updated.

Instead, use the GlideForm API or consider a different approach for the solution. In general, when using DOM manipulation methods, you have to reference an element in the DOM by id or using a CSS selector. When referencing out-of-box DOM elements, there is a risk that the element ID or placement within the DOM could change thus causing the code to stop working and/or generate errors. While we are not saying this should never be done, it needs to be done with forethought, caution, and a full understanding of the risk you are incurring. It is recommended to review these objects and reduce the use of DOM manipulation methods as much as possible.
