Hi Trena,
To Store the values of the checkboxes in multiline variable, onSubmit Client script.
To display the selected checkboxes over RITM/Task you have to change the macro variable as well. Add additional attribute id to each of checkboxes and make it same as value attribute. Below instruction needs to be changed.
htmlString += '<td><input type="checkbox" class="checks" value="'+check+'" id="'+check+'">'+check+'</input></td>';
create an onload catalog client script. You already have the values(same as ids of the checkboxes) stored in a multi line variable (testMl in here) so simply split those values and set checkboxes to checked.
function onLoad() {
var values = g_form.getValue('testMl') ; //Multiline variable name where values stored.
values = values.split(',');
for(var i = 0; i < values.length ; i++ ){ //traversing over selected checkboxes
document.getElementById(values[i]).checked = 'checked' ;
}
}
Hi Gurpreet,
Thanks for the response! I have the solution as you've identified about created, but the setChecks onLoad function is abending on the document.getElementById(values[i]).checked = 'checked'; line
Based on the w3 Schools site using this functionality, they have the following:
function check() {
document.getElementById("myCheck").checked = true;
}
where the property checked is true or false. I was hoping that would fix it, but neither statement works.
This is what the DOM explorer of the RITM for one of the selected checkbox looks like:
When I open the RITM that was created from the submission, the Client Script runs to load the dynamic check boxes because I have the Client Script to run on the catalog item, Requested Item and the catalog task. Then the Client Script to setChecks runs and sees the number of items that were checked and in the for loop when the index is 0...1st time in loop, that statement document.getElementById(values[i]).checked = 'true'; (I've tried with "true", 'checked' and true without any quotes.) This statement has a problem and I am not sure what is wrong. Thoughts? This is the actual statement:
document.getElementById(values[i]).checked = 'checked'; Do you know if the statement actually needs a literal or can it be an array field? Also wonder about the quotes...if they need to be part of the array field or just the value without quotes. Struggling with this, so if there is any more you could offer?
Thanks,
Trena
