I am trying to read Dive element on entity form using javascript so that I can change the style of that perticular element. I tried document.getElementById("") not working..

For example : Below statement is not working. Showing null value.

var customControl = document.getElementById("header_notescontrol");

Hi Ganesh,

First I want to mention that it is not supported way for customization, any attempt to access DOM was never entertained by Microsoft.

Though we can make use of these methods of DOM manipulation in previous versions of MS dynamics crm before this latest update(MS dynamics crm 2015 update 1).In this update they introduction new form rendering engine and also change the way to manage javascript and 3rd party library.

But there is a way if you still want to use access DOM.

Navigate to Settings -> Administration -> System Settings -> General

At the bottom of the form select “YES” under “Use legacy form rendering” and click OK button to save.

clear chase your browser and check

Hope this help, thanks.

Hi Sartaj,

thanks for your response..

I am able to read the element with your solution. but I am facing one issue that is..

I am using pure Java script. The java script code is getting executted before the CRM page is loaded conmpletely. Because of this below code is returning null value..

var controlEle = document.getElementById(DivelemetName);

but when I add alert method and take time to click "Ok" then it is working fine..

So basically some javascript code has to be return to control the code till CRm form is loaded completlly tghen after the JS code should run..

tried many thing but didn't get any thing..

use setTimeout function to delay executing your script until control object is not null

something like below should work

function setCtrlStyle(){

if (document.getElementById(DivelemetName)) {

}

else {

setTimeout("setCtrlStyle();", 500);

}

}

You can use timer in this scenario as suggested by Chitra, thanks.

I need to hide "Complete" button from Social pane for phone call activity Or if I can write some javascript validation when user clicks Complete button from Social Pane.

We do not have social pane control so we can not go with supported way.
