Posted on by altun8tr 262

Hi,

I have a wen resource whisch is written in javascript.

This web resource rates a button and my system is crm 2016.

The code for the button is supported ÅŸin CRM 2015;but in CRM 2016 not.

The button code is:

var latLon = getField("new_enlemboylam");
if (latLon && latLon.getValue() != null) {
var insertAfterField = document.getElementById('new_enlemboylam_d');
parent.document.document.getElementById('new_enlemboylam_d').insertBefore(createButton("btnMap", "Google Map", 100, function () {
var s = "http://" + window.location.host + "/ISV/vizyonera/map/bayimap.html?geo=" + latLon.getValue();
window.open(s, "", "dialogWidth:800px; dialogHeight:600px; center:yes");
}), parent.document.document.getElementById('new_enlemboylam_d').nextSibling);

I use code validation tool. The tool shows the .nextSibling word in blue. How can i fix it . I use this code while the form is loading. On loading it gives me javascript error. When ı remove the web resource form Onload event, the form works correctly and the form dos not give me error. But ı need the button .

Can anyone help me please?

    Hi

    Custom validation tool not check html source code. You have to debug it like

    parent.document.document.getElementById('new_enlemboylam_d') has null or not if not null then check what is next sibling value

    Please refer below URL

    Hi,

    Try the code below.

    function createButton() {
var atrname = 'foobar';
if (window.parent.document.getElementById(atrname) != null) {
    var fieldId = 'field' + atrname;
    var elementId = window.parent.document.getElementById(atrname + '_d');
    var div = window.parent.document.createElement('div');
    div.style.width = '20%';
    div.style.textAlign = 'right';
    div.style.display = 'inline';

    var childDiv = elementId.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];
    childDiv.style.display = 'none';

    elementId.appendChild(div, elementId);
    div.innerHTML = '<button id="' + fieldId + '"  type="button" style="margin-left: 4px; width: 50%;" >CRM Save Button</button>';
    window.parent.document.getElementById(atrname).style.width = '80%';
    window.parent.document.getElementById(fieldId).onclick = function () { OnClickFunction(); };

    }
}

    Hi,

    This code is not supported neither in CRM 2015 nor in CRM 2016 (if something is working it does not automatically mean that it's supported...). The only way to show a button on a form is to create a web resource, put in on the form and show button on that web resource. You are now modifying CRM DOM, which is totally unsupported.
