    RE: retrieve look up record name

    Thanks To Saad after he called me and de bugged the problem in with me step by step i realize what was wrong with the script the javascript library

    have double brackets on other functions

    here is my original javascript library before

    function onCloseCallback() {{

    var dateOfInterview =  Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ant_dateoftheinterview").getValue();

       var message= "Do you Really Want To Send An Email at"+dateOfInterview;

       Xrm.Utility.confirmDialog(message, yesCloseCallback, noCloseCallback)

    }

    function yesCloseCallback() {

       Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ant_arrangementemail").setValue(true);

    }

    function noCloseCallback() {

      Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ant_arrangementemail").setValue(false);

    }}

    ----------------------------------------------

    function getLookupDetails() {

    debugger;

    var lookupObj = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ant_candidate").getValue(); //Check for Lookup Object

    var lookupEntityType = lookupObj[0].entityType, //To get EntityName

    lookupRecordGuid = lookupObj[0].id, // To get record GUID

    lookupRecordName = lookupObj[0].name; //To get record Name

    if (lookupEntityType != null && lookupRecordGuid != null && lookupRecordName != null) {

    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Entity Type : " + lookupEntityType + "\nRecord GUID : " + lookupRecordGuid + "\nRecord Name : " + lookupRecordName, null);

    }

    }

    you can notice i have 2 problems 1 is the double braces at the begining and the seconed one is the dashes between functions i removed them and every thing went fine

    all credit goes to Saad Akhtar. Really Appriciated

    Hello,

    Replace line

    var lookupObj = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(ant_candidate);

    with line

    var lookupObj = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ant_candidate");

    var lookupObj = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(ant_candidate); //Check for Lookup Object

    You need quotation marks around the name of your attribute...  Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ant_candidate");
