can't get handle to crm form element through js?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello - I was trying to get a handle to a CRM form element through js and I was running into issues. I used the browser element inspector to click on a left nav menu item (Contact > Quotes).

The browser element inspector showed an ID of "navQuotes". However, when I went to the js console and executed alert(document.getElementById('navQuotes')) the browser returned a alert with a message of null.

This seems pretty unusual. Do you have any idea about the explanation for why this does not seem to be working as expected?

    You should be using:

    Xrm.Page.ui.navigation.items.get("navQuotes")
    

    Xrm.Page Reference
    

    Addressing items on the CRM for by directly manipulating the DOM isn't supported - have a look into using the Xrm.Page object in the link.
