Xrm.Page.data Property is NULL when used inside Webresource embedded on a Form

Posted on by Community Member

I have a WebResource with html mark-up that draws a html button with an onclick event. The onclick event calls a javascript function that tries to reference the data property on Xrm.Page. The html webresource is embedded on a Form in a custom entity.

When I click the html button and debug the script I can see that Xrm.Page.data is NULL.

I tried calling this same javascript function in the OnLoad event of Form. In this case the Xrm.Page.data property is not null.

Should i expect the Xrm.Page.data property to be NULL when embedded in a webreource on a form and populated when used in OnLoad event of the form?

Hello,

When you embed a WebResource into an Entity Form, you need to go up one level, to reach the form first.

Try:

var entityDataInForm = parent.Xrm.Page;

Note: this only works if you include the WebResource into the Entity Form with the WebResource component, it does not work with an iFrame.

Hope this helps you. If you have any other questions, please let me know!

Web resources are not in the same level as the actual CRM page.

You can access the data class of Xrm.Page using parent.Xrm.Page.data or you can redefine Xrm inside you own web resource:

var Xrm = parent.Xrm;

After that you should be able to use: Xrm.Page.data...

Hope this helps.
