Hi,
I am using CRM Rest Builder to create a record for an entity using Javascript, which accepts values from the user dynamically. It is being done within a HTML file. I have a submit button, which will create a new record and show up in the CRM database (a record in the entity). It does not submit the record in the database, and when debugging, it shows I have entered the values as input dynamically by the user. However, when debugging through Chrome's console, I get the following error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: Xrm is not defined
at createRecord (new_crmhtmltest?preview=1:49)
at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (new_crmhtmltest?preview=1:212)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My whole HTML code as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Payment Information</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<style>

/* Create two equal columns that floats next to each other */
.column {
float: left;
width: 50%;
padding: 10px;
/* Should be removed. Only for demonstration */
}
/* Clear floats after the columns */
.row:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
</style>

In the above code, I've noted the lines where the errors are coming from. What I've tried doing is adding the script tag, but it seems to have made the problem worse. Any help would be appreciated.

Update: I've fixed my form by debugging line by line. I likely must have forgotten the document.getElementById('new_name').value. That fixed my problem. The other two posters have helped me immensely. Thanks everyone!!
All I'm doing is filling out information dynamically and clicking the submit button and it still won't create a record in the database.
Can you please tell us when you are actually getting this error , I mean what action?
Looks like something is undefined getting in the code , try to debug the code hope you will get the line where its getting undefined.
That seemed to fix a part of the problem. However, I get the following error on my console:

Hi Ramakrishnan,
How you are opening the HTML page in Dynamics CRM? Replace below code -
Try with this
window.parent.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl()
window.parent.Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
OR
-------------------------
If you are opening from Ribbon you can also try with this -
window.parent.opener.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl()
window.parent.opener.Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
Hi,
You can't directly access Xrm.Page in html, try to change it to parent.Xrm or window.parent.Xrm before Xrm.Page like below
parent.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl()
or
window.parent.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl()
