Problem Adding Script to Form

Posted on by ghdunn 235

I am working through Mastering-Dynamics-365-customization-development/ 

When I add a web resource

with the script 

function suggestZipCodes() { // defined possible ZipCode ZipCodes = [ { name: '94102' }, { name: '94103' }, { name: '94104' }, { name: '94105' }, { name: '94107' }, { name: '94108' }]; var OnZipCodekeyPress = function (fld) { var ZipCodetxt = Xrm.Page.getControl(" address1_postalcode"). getValue(); resultSet = { results: new Array(), commands: { id: "ZipCodecmd", label: "Search in Bing", action: function () { window.open(" http:// bing.com"); // Open Bing URL } } }; var ZipCodetxtLowerCase = ZipCodetxt.toLowerCase(); for (i = 0; i < ZipCodes.length; i + +) { if (ZipCodetxtLowerCase = = = ZipCodes[ i]. name.substring( 0, ZipCodetxtLowerCase.length). toLowerCase()) { resultSet.results.push({ id: i, fields: [ZipCodes[ i]. name] }); } if (resultSet.results.length > = 10) { break;} } if (resultSet.results.length > 0) { fld.getEventSource(). showAutoComplete( resultSet); // Show Auto Complete } else { fld.getEventSource(). hideAutoComplete();// Hide Auto Complete } }; Xrm.Page.getControl(" address1_postalcode"). addOnKeyPress( OnZipCodekeyPress); }

and then add this to the Contacts Main Form

I get the following error on opening the form:

ReferenceError: Web resource method does not exist: suggestZipCodes

Can anyone suggest where i am going wrong?

    Hi,

    You could probably reach out to the author of that book, Deepesh Somani on LinkedIn to get help or updates on the examples he has provided in his book.

    Firstly, the code you pasted seems to have some formatting issues.
    You should use a code editor such as Visual Studio Code  (it's free) so that it highlights what's wrong in your JavaScript code.

    I've tried to fix it:

    function suggestZipCodes() { // defined possible ZipCode 
    ZipCodes = [
        { name: '94102' },
        { name: '94103' },
        { name: '94104' },
        { name: '94105' },
        { name: '94107' },
        { name: '94108' }
    ];
    var OnZipCodekeyPress = function (fld) {
        var ZipCodetxt = Xrm.Page.getControl(" address1_postalcode").getValue();
        resultSet = {
            results: new Array(),
            commands: {
                id: "ZipCodecmd",
                label: "Search in Bing",
                action: function () {
                    window.open(" http:// bing.com"); // Open Bing URL
                }
            }
        };
        var ZipCodetxtLowerCase = ZipCodetxt.toLowerCase();
        for (i = 0; i < ZipCodes.length; i  ) {
            if (ZipCodetxtLowerCase === ZipCodes[i].name.substring(0, ZipCodetxtLowerCase.length).toLowerCase()) {
                resultSet.results.push({
                    id: i,
                    fields: [ZipCodes[i].name]
                });
            }
            if (resultSet.results.length >= 10) {
                break;
            }
        }
        if (resultSet.results.length > 0) {
            fld.getEventSource().showAutoComplete(resultSet); // Show Auto Complete
        } else {
            fld.getEventSource().hideAutoComplete(); // Hide Auto Complete 
        }
    };
    Xrm.Page.getControl(" address1_postalcode").addOnKeyPress(OnZipCodekeyPress);
}

    Secondly, the code sample isn't supposed to work on the Unified Interface, so it will ultimately not do anything.
    While the Xrm.Page method that has been deprecated might still work as of today, the addOnKeyPress method doesn't work in the Unified Interface.

    Deprecation announcements and suggested alternatives are documented here:
