I need to use startsWith() function on a client script, but I got an error

Hi,

I need to use startsWith() function on a client script, but I got this error.

           onChange script error: TypeError: location.startsWith is not a function function () { [native code] }

please help?

Since you only want to know about the start of the string "indexof" won't work, but substring should.

How about this:-

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
var location = g_form.getReference('u_fac_building');'
if(location.substring(0,4) == "0152"){
g_form.setValue('assigned_to','');
}
}

Thanks...Gary

Thanks Gary,

I got the same error event with substring

onChange script error: TypeError: location.substring is not a function function () { [native code] }

I fixed it, I have to add .name to the location.

Than you all.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
var location = g_form.getReference('u_fac_building');
//g_form.addInfoMessage(location.name);

if(location.name.substring(0,4) == "0152"){

g_form.setValue('assigned_to','442d90fa4f4f8b003aeb58211310c784');


}
}
