How to fix invalid reference

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

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.

New-Lead-page.png

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?

    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!

    Use this:

    var objProducts =parent.GetAllProducts();

    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.

    Hi,

    Can you try using the following code?

    var objProducts = window.parent.GetAllProducts();

    Hope this helps.
