We use an option set to change the URL of an iFrame. We are getting occasional errors that there are extra spaces in the URL.

Original Code: --- I modified the URL's to keep private, but this code works. (Note it is using Xrm.Page)

function SetDocumentFrame(){
    //Get the value of an option set attribute 

    var personid = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("do_personid").getValue();
    var value = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("do_appreg_recordreviewtype").getValue();
    var newTarget = "";  
    //Set the target based on the value of the option set  
    switch (value) {  
        case 1:  //Document
            newTarget = "https://1.cgi?person_id=" personid "&output_style=p";// Removes the extra characters on the end.  
            break;  
        case 2:  //Academic Record Summary (RECSUM)
            newTarget = "https://1.cgi?person_id=" personid "&output_style=p" "&foo="; 
            break;  
        case 3:  // Work Experience (GS08)
            newTarget = "https://1.cgi?person_id=" personid "&output_style=p" "&foo="; 
            break;  
        case 4:  //Exams
            newTarget = "https://1.cgi?person_id=" personid "&output_style=p" "&foo="; 
            break; 
        case 5:  //GS02 Application
            newTarget = "https://1.cgi?person_id=" personid "&output_style=p" "&foo="; 
            break;  
        case 6:  //GS02 Letters
            newTarget = "https://1.cgi?person_id=" personid "&output_style=p" "&foo=";
            break;  
        default:  
            newTarget = "https://sample.com//WebResources/docreviewdefault";  
            break;  
    }  
    //Get the default URL for the IFRAME, which includes the   
    // query string parameters  
    var IFrame = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("IFRAME_reviewframe");  
    var Url = IFrame.getSrc();  
    // Capture the parameters  
    var params = Url.substr(Url.indexOf("?"));  
    //Append the parameters to the new page URL  
    newTarget = newTarget   params;  
    // Use the setSrc method so that the IFRAME uses the  
    // new page with the existing parameters  
    IFrame.setSrc(newTarget);  
}

Thinking that the extra space may be related to the API used. We changed to use the getFormContext (Client API reference) and attempted to trim for the extra spaces.

New Code:

function SetDocumentFrame(executionContext){
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var personid = formContext.getAttribute("do_personid").getValue(); 
    var value = formContext.getAttribute("do_appreg_recordreviewtype").getValue(); 
    var newTarget = "";  
    //Set the target based on the value of the option set  
    switch (value) {  
        case 1:  
            newTarget = `https://1.cgi?person_id=${personId}`.trim()
            break;  
        case 2:  
            newTarget = `https://2.cgi?person_id=${personId}`.trim()
            break;  
        case 3: 
            newTarget = `https://3.cgi?person_id=${personId}`.trim()
            break;  
        case 4: 
            newTarget = `https://4.cgi?person_id=${personId}`.trim()
            break; 
        case 5:  
            newTarget = `https://5.cgi?person_id=${personId}`.trim()
            break;  
        case 6:  
            newTarget = `https://6.cgi?person_id=${personId}`.trim()
            break;  
        default:  
            newTarget = `https://./WebResources/websitemessage.html`.trim();  
            break;  
    }  
    //Get the default URL for the IFRAME, which includes the   
    // query string parameters  
    var IFrame = formContext.ui.controls.get("IFRAME_reviewframe");  
    var Url = IFrame.getSrc();  
    // Capture the parameters  
    var params = Url.substr(Url.indexOf("?"));  
    //Append the parameters to the new page URL  
    newTarget = newTarget   params;  
    // Use the setSrc method so that the IFRAME uses the  
    // new page with the existing parameters  
    IFrame.setSrc(newTarget);  
}

QUESTIONS:

1. Is this the correct way to trim?

2. We are thinking that the Xrm.Page may be causing spaces, but when I run using getFormContext. I get an error: Cannot read property 'getFormContext' of undefined. Why?

3. How do I modify the line : var IFrame = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("IFRAME_reviewframe"); to use the new API method? Is this right? var IFrame = formContext.ui.controls.get("IFRAME_reviewframe");

JScript to change iframe values.
