Posted on by Jay2014

Hi,

I am trying to get the Year and Month from a date field using the following script but its not working

Function getdates () {

var startDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("dac_typeofcaller").getValue();

if (startDate != null) {

var year = startDate.getFullYear() + "";

var month = (startDate.getMonth()+1)+"";

alert(month);
alert(year);
}

}

The above script results in the following error :

ReferenceError: getdates is not defined
at eval (eval at RunHandlerInternal (https://xxx.crm11.dynamics.com/form/ClientApiWrapper.aspx?ver=-253954455:153:1), <anonymous>:1:1)

The date field is on the form and its populated

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi ,

Try with this -

function getdates()
{
var crmDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("dac_typeofcaller").getValue(); var startDate = new Date(crmDate); if (startDate != null) { var year = startDate.getFullYear() + ""; var month = (startDate.getMonth()+1)+""; alert(month); alert(year); }
}

You just need to change "Function" to "function"

Hi,

The error you are getting is because you have a syntax error in your script. Change "Function" to "function" it should work.

==============

function getdates() {

var startDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("dac_typeofcaller").getValue();

if (startDate != null) {

var year = startDate.getFullYear() + "";

var month = (startDate.getMonth() + 1) + "";

alert(month);

alert(year);

}

}

==========

You can refer the below article for more details on javascript.

The error is telling you that it can't find getdates - you're doing something wrong with how you're calling that function.
