How to fix invalid reference

Posted on by Community Member

I'm new to Dynamics CRM, with only a little background in JavaScript. I need some insight...

I'm trying to fix a form (Sales > Leads > New Lead) in a CRM project that someone else wrote but that has never worked correctly. The form contains a Product Categories list box that's apparently an iFrame within the main form.

Two web resources are associated with that list. One (new_PromptLeadProductPage.htm) has JavaScript functions onbodyload() and oncheck(). The other one (new_PromptLeadProductService.js) contains functions for fetching and sorting the product categories, including one named GetAllProducts.

The first line in onbodyload() is

var objProducts =parent.window.GetAllProducts();

When that line executes, I get an error in the console log, "Uncaught TypeError: parent.window.GetAllProducts is not a function".

What do I need in this statement in place of "parent.window" to refer to the function in the ...Service.js resource?

Hi,

Can you try using the following code?

var objProducts = window.parent.GetAllProducts();

Hope this helps.

Hey ,

First you have to make sure that HTML resource (new_PromptLeadProductPage.htm) have ref of new_PromptLeadProductService.js . If not the you have to add new_PromptLeadProductService.js ref

ex.

add this between <head>{Add your ref here}</head>

<script src="https://<Your CRM instance name>//WebResources/new_PromptLeadProductService.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Now you can directly access GetAllProducts(); this method

ex :

var objProducts =GetAllProducts();

If helpful , please mark as verified.

Use this:

var objProducts =parent.GetAllProducts();

Thank you. This did get me past the current error. Of course, once that happened, a different error occurred, but it wasn't related to this issue. The old code was using SOAP and CRMFetchKit, and it will have to be replaced with oData queries. I have a lot of work to do!
