Is there other way to get field object other than document.all.fieldName?

Preferred way would be not to use document.all at all, but use fieldName.XXX instead

You should always use MS CRM supported JavaScript syntax's where ever you need it, any ways GUIDO Preite gave you a right way , you can use that syntax, document .all will be use if something will not be available by supported way.

Sorry, but I can't get it done.

I am using document.all.new_textbox inside a JavaScript function, and I'm passing it as a parameter. I'm also passing field name, which is "new_tesxtbox" as another parameter. What I want to do is reduce the parameters and leave just the field name, somehow it is not working.

function loadPickList(optionSetFieldName, textBoxFieldName, optionSetFieldObj, textBoxFieldObj, divHeight, divBorderColor, divBackgroundColor) {
if (optionSetFieldObj != null && textBoxFieldObj != null) {
var optionSet = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(optionSetFieldName);
optionSetFieldObj.style.display = "none";

var htmlDiv = document.createElement("div");

if (divBorderColor == null && divBackgroundColor == null) {
divBorderColor = "#c6c6c6";
divBackgroundColor = "#ffffff";
}
htmlDiv.setAttribute("style", "overflow-y:auto; height:" + divHeight + "px; border:1px " + divBorderColor
+ " solid; background-color:" + divBackgroundColor + ";");
optionSetFieldObj.parentNode.appendChild(htmlDiv);

for ( var i = 0; i < optionSet.getOptions().length - 1; i++) {
var item = optionSet.getOptions()[i];
var htmlInput = document.createElement("input");
htmlInput.setAttribute("type", "checkbox");
htmlInput.setAttribute("style", "border:none; width:25px; align:left;vertical-align: middle;");
if (isChecked(item.text, textBoxFieldObj)) {
htmlInput.setAttribute("checked", "checked");
}
var htmlLabel = document.createElement("label");
htmlLabel.innerText = item.text;
htmlLabel.setAttribute("style", "vertical-align: middle;");
var htmlBr = document.createElement("br");

optionSetFieldObj.nextSibling.appendChild(htmlInput);
optionSetFieldObj.nextSibling.appendChild(htmlLabel);
optionSetFieldObj.nextSibling.appendChild(htmlBr);
}
}
}

Parameters example: "new_optionset", "new_textbox", document.all.new_optionset, document.all.new_textbox, "120"

This function transforms Option Set to Multi-Select Option Set, it's used in Form OnLoad

It works great, but I want to reduce the parameter number in the function.

I think like this way you can set your variable and ease your JS ..

function loadPickList(optionSetFieldName, textBoxFieldName,divHeight, divBorderColor, divBackgroundColor) {

var optionSet = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(optionSetFieldName);
optionSetFieldObj = document.all.item(optionSet.getName());
textBoxFieldObj = document.all.item(textBoxFieldName);
if (optionSetFieldObj != null && textBoxFieldObj != null) {

optionSetFieldObj.style.display = "none";

var htmlDiv = document.createElement("div");

if (divBorderColor == null && divBackgroundColor == null) {
divBorderColor = "#c6c6c6";
divBackgroundColor = "#ffffff";
}
htmlDiv.setAttribute("style", "overflow-y:auto; height:" + divHeight + "px; border:1px " + divBorderColor
+ " solid; background-color:" + divBackgroundColor + ";");
optionSetFieldObj.parentNode.appendChild(htmlDiv);

for ( var i = 0; i < optionSet.getOptions().length - 1; i++) {
var item = optionSet.getOptions()[i];
var htmlInput = document.createElement("input");
htmlInput.setAttribute("type", "checkbox");
htmlInput.setAttribute("style", "border:none; width:25px; align:left;vertical-align: middle;");
if (isChecked(item.text, textBoxFieldObj)) {
htmlInput.setAttribute("checked", "checked");
}
var htmlLabel = document.createElement("label");
htmlLabel.innerText = item.text;
htmlLabel.setAttribute("style", "vertical-align: middle;");
var htmlBr = document.createElement("br");

optionSetFieldObj.nextSibling.appendChild(htmlInput);
optionSetFieldObj.nextSibling.appendChild(htmlLabel);
optionSetFieldObj.nextSibling.appendChild(htmlBr);
}
}
}

Hope it will help !!!
