Hi,

I have a piece of JavaScript as below which gets the data from text field when user save the record. I am calling the function through custom HTML button on the Form. My problem is when I enter the data and click outside of the field then if I click Save it is working fine but when I enter some data into the text field and without leaving the field if I click on the Save record(custom button). It is not saving and getting NULL value. Could someone please suggest me how to do it. Many Thanks in Advance.

function createRecord() {
var oDescription = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_description").getValue();
if (oDescription != null) {
var callentity = {};
var activityId;
var currentUserId = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

var oLeadId = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_lead").getValue()[0].id;

callentity.Subject = "Call Activity";
callentity.Description = oDescription ;

XrmSvcToolkit.createRecord({....Some more functions here...

})
}

RE: Issue on saving when cursor is on the text field

Hi David,

Many Thanks. Still it's not working. Because if my cursor is on the Description field and when I click on the custom HTML Save Button nothing happening but when I come out of the field and try to save it then I can save. So is there any way to achieve it. I tried with IsDirty and Focus function but still no luck. Can you please suggest if you have any ideas. Thanks.

Hi Newguy,

As you are calling the Javascript from a custom HTML page, it might be worth while prepending a window.parent to Xrm.Page.getAttribute as the script will be running on the custom html page, and not the CRM form itself, give that a try and let me know if that works.

window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_description").getValue();

there is an isdirty method,
Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“new_description”).getIsDirty()
its returns a bool

regards,

Hi David,

Thank you for your suggestion above but it is not working.

I have a HTML button on the Form and a Text box where I enter some data after entering data without coming out of the textbox if I click on the Save button it is not saving and once if I click on the other field then after when I click on the button it is saving.

So here I am trying to set the focus to some other field and which is not so elegant.Is there any other way to check the field is changed like ISDirty? Please suggest.

Hello NEWGuy,

have you tried to remove focus from the textbox that was in focus?

I'm going to presume the textbox you are referring to is 'new_description'

so maybe try set the focus to another textbox in the first line of createRecord()

e.g.

var control = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(“new_lead”);

control.setFocus();
