How to check string contains certain word in client script

[Renu9]

Hi All,

I am having location and location type variables in 1 catalog item. Based on location variable, I need to set location type variable(remote, onsite) choices in select box.

I am writing an on change client script . Requirement is if location variable contains ex: Remote, AZ or Home Office(California), then the location type should appear as Remote

Any other selection, it should be Onsite. 

But as per the below script, it is always going to Onsite . Please help me how it can be achieved

 var loc = g_form.getDisplayValue('location_emp');

    alert("loc is " + loc);

    if ((loc.toLowerCase().contains('remote') || loc.toLowerCase().contains('home office')) > -1) {

        alert("into if");

        g_form.setValue('location_type', 'Remote');

    } else {

        alert("into else");

        g_form.setValue('location_type', 'Onsite');

    }

}

Hey @Renu9 ,

Please find the corrected version of your script:

var loc = g_form.getDisplayValue('location_emp').toLowerCase();
alert("loc is " + loc);
if (loc.includes('remote') || loc.includes('home office')) {
    alert("into if");
    g_form.setValue('location_type', 'Remote');
} else {
    alert("into else");
    g_form.setValue('location_type', 'Onsite');
}
