Refreshing the Web Resource in Dynamics 365

Posted on by 17,074

Hi All,

I am trying to refresh the HTML web resource on the form on change of a field (date time field) in dynamics 365. I used the code below.

var webResource = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("WebResource_OnlineMeetingForm");
webResource.setSrc(webResource.getSrc());

But it's not working.

The screenshot of the form is shown below.

On the change of the start time field (date time field), I need to refresh the table (HTML web resource) and display the meetings on that date.

How shall I do this?

Any help is appreciated.

    For UCI, you can try somthing like below.

    var webResourceControl = Xrm.Page.getControl( "WebResource_page");
    let src = webResourceControl.getObject().src;
    webResourceControl.getObject().src = "about:blank";
    webResourceControl.getObject().src = src;

    Here is some code that works also on UCI:

            var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    
            var webResArea = formContext.ui.controls.get("web resource name");
            var src = webResArea.getSrc();
            var url = src.substring(src.indexOf("/WebResources"));
    
            var n = url.indexOf("&dt=");
            if (n > 0)
                url = url.substring(0, url.length - n + 1);
    
            var dt = Date.now();
    
            if (url.indexOf("?data") > 0)
                url += encodeURIComponent('&dt=' + dt); //unified interface
            else
                url += '?data=' + encodeURIComponent('dt=' + dt); //classic interface
    
            webResArea.setSrc(url);

    I added a timeout to the function and it was able to refresh properly.

    setTimeout(function () {

      webr.setSrc(src);

    },100);

    Hi, I too have the same problem, though the above solution is working like a charm in Web client, the same is not working for UCI. Any help is much appreciated.

    Hi,

    Does anyone know a solution for Unified Interface? What is provided here works on classic interface but not Unified Interface

    Try this

    function refreshWebResource(executionContext, WebRrscName) {
        var _crmForm = executionContext.getFormContext();
        var webResource = _crmForm.getControl(WebRrscName);
        if (webResource != null) {
            var webResourceSrc = webResource.getSrc();
            webResource.setSrc(null);
            webResource.setSrc(webResourceSrc);
        }
    }

    on form field event handling

    check execution context as first argument and set "WebResource_YOURNAME" as second argument.

    Does this work in v9.0?  I had the same code working in 8.2 but now it appears to be failing.  I assume this needs to be rewritten using executionContext.

    Hi Nithya,

    Thanks for your response.

    Yes. I have prepended "WebResource_" with my Web resource Name.

    Ex: WebResource_test

    But, I am getting null value.

    Thanks.
