Javascript to show alert with input box

Posted on by Vinit

Hello All,

I want to show a popup to user with input field.

Example. If user clicks on 'UpdateRelationship' button available on 'Account' form, a pop up should open with input box which allows user to enter the name of the relationship. Once user enters the name and clicks Ok button, the name of relationship should be updated in the entity.

I was thinking about showmodaldialog or Xrm.Internal.openDialog, but these methods seems to be an unsupported. i also have tried alert.js library, but there is no provision to take the input from the user.

I'm using CRM 365 online version.

Please tell me how we can show a popup with input box to user.

Hi,

You can create an html webresource and have your required field there after that you can use Xrm.Utility's openWebResource method to open it on button click .

Thanks

Take a look at alert.js

github.com/.../alertjs

This will probably be the best solution, and is widely used by CRM users.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Mahen for the response.

I also tried Xrm.Utility.openWebResource but it is opening the webresource in new tab.

I want it on the same page, same like the functionality of alert message.

Is there any way to open this webresource in the same window?

Hi Vinit,

Did you try Alert.js? It has method to open web resource just like you wanted. Check the below links-

To get a value back from a web resource you can use:

Mscrm.Utilities.setReturnValue(returnValue);

You will need to have the following reference in your web resource:

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

If the alert.js does not work, you can use the following:

var DialogOption = new Xrm.DialogOptions;

DialogOption.width = 600; DialogOption.height = 450;

Xrm.Internal.openDialog("/WebResources/new_myresource.html", DialogOption, null, null, myCallback);

function myCallback(callbackValue)

{

if (callbackValue == "1")

{

// Your logic here

}

}

Note that using Xrm.Internal is unsupported.

Saying that it is still used by many, and hopefully Microsoft will add this functionality in a supported way (as they added the alert and confirm to the Xrm.Utility class).

Hope this helps...

Hi Vinit,

Check the documentation for these 2 functions which allows you to show a web resource, and then read the values from it:

https://github.com/PaulNieuwelaar/alertjs/wiki/Documentation#alertshowwebresource

https://github.com/PaulNieuwelaar/alertjs/wiki/Documentation#alertgetiframewindow

Hope that helps
