Script error: Unable to get property 'Initialize' of undefined or null reference at eval code

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by USA80 26

Below is my script, the field is populating correctly when the form loads, however I also get the script error: Unable to get property 'Initialize' of undefined or null reference at eval code.  I am not sure why I am getting this and F12 debugger doesn't show any errors.  Any ideas?

function setJSonDate()
 {
  var currentYear = (new Date()).getFullYear();
  var sept1st = new Date(currentYear, 8, 1);
  
  Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_jsondatefield").setValue(sept1st);
 }

    Hello ,

    I am not sure why the error coming , your code is correct.  Seems datetime control is not initializing . Could you please try with this -

            function setJSonDate() {
            setTimeout(function () {
                var d = new Date();
                var currentYear = d.getFullYear();
                var sept1st = new Date(currentYear, 8, 1);
                if (Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("nhs_jsondatefield") != null)
                    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_jsondatefield").setValue(sept1st);
            }, 2000);
        }

    the field is on the form, it is visible, and it is a Date Only field.

    Hello ,

    Try with this  , seems the problem is you are setting datetime field , I have made this date only now . Hope this will work.

            function setJSonDate() {           
                var d = new Date();
                var currentYear = d.getFullYear();               
                var sept1st = "09" + "/" + "01" + "/"+ currentYear; // MM/DD/YYYY - This depends on which format are you displaying
                var Sept1StDateOnly = new Date(sept1st);               
                if (Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("nhs_jsondatefield") != null)
                    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_jsondatefield").setValue(Sept1StDateOnly);           
        }

    Still same issue.  When I look into the debugger again, I see an error under the Console Tab.  When I go there, I see an error that says, "Script1002: Syntax error

                    File: formscript.js.aspx, Line: 1, Column: 1

    When I went to this location on this script line 1 is the following:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Could you please debug your code , let me know which line you are getting error .

    Write "debugger;" in your code and press F12 window , it will automatically start debug when  page load .

    I just did that and the code itself there is no errors, it is error on the script that I mentioned above on line one, which I put above what line is.

    Still same issue.  When I look into the debugger again, I see an error under the Console Tab.  When I go there, I see an error that says, "Script1002: Syntax error

    Hi Usa,

     did you try removing your script (and the corresponding onLoad event)? I am wondering if it has anything to do with the error at all or if it's something else.

    Is it the only onLoad event for that form? Is it the only web resource attached to the form? If it is, could you post all the code you have in that web resource?

    Seems the error is coming from your javascript web resource file , something brackets or may be some structure of JS is wrong in the file .  In addition try to search with "Initialize" , somewhere it has written in the JS file , put null check of the object where you are finding "Initialize"from object.

    Thanks guys, I resolved the error. I recreated by Web Resource which seemed to solve the issue.
