Xrm.Page.ui is null when debugging with F12

Posted on by anonsgate 422

I try to write some Javascript using the f12 tool. In the console if I write console.log(Xrm.Page) I get 

Æ’ () {
}
if I write Xrm.Page.ui instead I get null. According to this article I should be able to use the console to test javascript : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328261.aspx#BKMK_DeveloperTools
I am doing this in the form of a custom entity. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi,

     have you opened a specific record in Dynamics, or are you looking at the view/dashboard?

    Xrm.Page will only be available on the "forms", not in the views/dashboards/reports/etc

    Yes I'm inside the record. I went to the list of that entity, double clicked one entry and now I'm in the form where I can edit the values of my entity like name,owner etc...

    It seems the "console" does not put you in the right context.

    Try

    document.contentIFrame1.Xrm.Page.ui

    You don't have to do it when using web resources, though.

    If you want a quicker way to test, you can put your "context" at contentIFrame1. In chrome, if you press F12, you will see "top" written in a dropdown. click it and choose contentIFrame1 instead. You can now use Xrm.Page in the console. Note that sometimes it's contentIFrame0

    Oh yes, Chrome has better Developer Tools, that makes it so much easier. Thanks
