Posted on by Community Member

Hello,

I have a JavaScript runtime error after updating to Dynamics CRM 2015 Update 1.

My custom JavaScript is validated and passed the validation done through CRM 2015 Custom Validation Tool. As specified below, when the JavaScript run on page load, it grabs the single line text control and changes it to a hyperlink.

Here the code:

// JavaScript source code

function

ConvertTfsItemFieldToLink() {

//Get URL

var itemInputId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("control_name").getValue()

var baseUrl = "";

var url = baseUrl + itemInputId;

var ctrl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("control_name");

//Get contol fist HTM element

var elem = ctrl.get_chromeElement()[0]

if (itemInputId != null) {

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("Control_Name").setValue(itemInputId);

var btn = "<a href='javascript: void(0);' onclick=\"window.open('" + url + "'); return false; \" style='color:blue;text-decoration:underline !important'>" + itemInputId + "</a>";

// Add the new button

elem.innerHTML = btn;

}

else {

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("Control_Name").setValue(null);

elem.innerHTML ='<span/>';

}

The script throws the following error:

I know that get_chromeElement may be removed from Control API.

Is there anyway I can resolve that.

Thanks.

Yoyo

With the latest update and the new form rendering engine you aren't able to attach to the specific DOM elements any longer.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crm/archive/2015/04/29/microsoft-dynamics-crm-online-2015-update-1-new-form-rendering-engine.aspx

The short term way to overcome this is to turn back on the legacy engine in the Settings area (Navigate to Settings -> Administration -> System Settings -> General). The long term solution would be to use a web resource instead.

Thank you Jason,

I got the issue related to attaching to specific DOM object.

I want to add a link in a form based on a value in another single line text field.

What do you suggest? Or do you have any web resource approach to do this?

Thanks

this is how you can show it in web resource.... i am using "name" attribute from the form in to web resource

keep the web resource formatting... 2 rows with no scrolling

you may adjust the HTML properties according to your need

<html>

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8">

<title>Operations Panel</title>

<style type="text/css">

body {

font-family: Segoe UI, Tahoma, Arial;

background-color: #d6e8ff;

margin:0;

padding:0;

vertical-align: top;

}

tbody {

background-color: white;

}

th {

background-color: black;

color: White;

}

p {

margin-top: 0;

margin-bottom: 0;

margin-left: 0;

margin-right: 0;

}

</style>

<script src="ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

document.onreadystatechange = function () {

if (document.readyState == "complete") {

var message = document.createElement("DIV");

message.innerHTML = "<a href='https://www.msn.com/' target='_blank'>" + window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").getValue() + "</a>";

//setText(message, Description);

document.body.appendChild(message);

//alert(window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").getValue());

}

}

</script>

</head>

<body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0>

</body>

</html>
