Need JS to display notification based on condition

Posted on by Cyclefitness

With zero JS skills ... seriously, no skills here ... I'm trying to write a function which will fire when value1 = value2. I have specific fields I want to interrogate, but I'll address that once I know how to make the function work with a simple variable comparison.

This generates a "ReferenceError: 'changereport' is undefined. What am I missing?

function changeReport ()

{

value1 = 1

value2 = 1

msg = "123";

if (value1 == value2)

{ Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification("This is an INFORMATION notification.", "INFORMATION", msg)

var time = 5000;

//Wait the designated time and then remove

setTimeout(

function () {

Xrm.Page.ui.clearFormNotification(msg);

time

);

}

I figured it out. I was missing the prefix on the attribute name. I am thrilled!!! Thank you again.

Now to replace the generic variable with a real one. Something seems to be wrong with this attempt at getting the value and then evaluating it. I must be missing something in the syntax?

function changeReport()

{

var chgRptCount = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("countchangereports").getValue();

msg = "123";

if (chgRptCount > 0)

{ Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification("There are pending change reports not incorporated in the case.", "INFORMATION", msg)

var time = 5000;

//Wait the designated time and then remove

setTimeout(

function () {

Xrm.Page.ui.clearFormNotification(msg);

},

time

);

}

}

Hi Debra,

A couple of things. First I would get into the habit of adding the var keyword before declaring variables, but that is not the issue here. You had a lot of pointers above, but I saw one additional thing that might be causing the problem.

//

It looks like you have an unnecessary comma after the braces "}" (the one before the last one).

Hope this is it.

Also note the missing semi colons:

value1 = 1

value2 = 1

Should be...

value1 = 1;

value2 = 1;

Because I don't display the field on which the error is generated and because I don't like the error display on the field. I want it to be on the notification bar at the top.

Hi,

It looks like you're calling your method with changereport and it should be changeReport (capital R). Try to change that.
