Hi,

Iam using the HTML Composer to create the Launchpage/HTML screen and the report runs fine till this point.
I have created a JS file for the validation purpose and once I insert this in the HTML Composer(via Insert -->Script) and try running the report, Iam getting the werid error saying :

Line :7
Char :764
Error:Unable to get value of the property '0'bject is null or undefined
Code :0
URL:http://wfdev.corp.intranet/ibi_apps/ibi_html/javaassist/ibi/html/js/rltcalendarInit.js

I have 2 calendar controls in my component.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards!

Can you remove the script and it works fine? I get nervous anytime I modify any HTML in Composer that's why I make plenty of backups during development.

I have seen things go bad in a hurry.

Have you tried just putting in your JS in the tab instead of using a file? Assuming your using Dev Studio.

Hi,

Yes, the report works fine if I just drag and drop the components in the HTML composer without any validation and am using dev studio..

To do the validation using javascript,Iam using either of these methods :
1)I insert the JS file using the insert option in HTML composer
2)Without using the JS file in the HTML Composer,I directly add the validation function in the HTML code.

I tried both these methods but again it throws the same error message.

Hope Iam clear now!

Thanks a lot for your help!

I would start adding in my JS one function at a time. It looks like you are not getting anything from the object. Are you trying to get the properties of a calendar control?

Do you have other controls on your HTML ?

It seems that js is trying to perform an action on a control that it's not yet loaded.

Just to confirm that it's not the case, put the js into an event of a control such as an onclick event. That way the js won't execute until you click on the control.

If the page initially load without the error and only occurs when you click on control with the event, my thought is confirmed.

Must insure that the page is fully loaded prior to process with the validation.

This may be a track to follow...

Hi,

MattC - I have added only 1 function in the JS page.

MartinY - I have other components like Dropdown,textbox and calendarcontrol.
To test my report,I removed the calendar control from my HTML page and tried running the report and my HTML page runs fine with validation(Validation is being done on the dropdown).

Thanks a lot !

Can you share your js with us ?

Hi Martin,

Please find my JS code below :

//Begin function window_onload
function window_onload() {

UpdateData();

// TODO: Add your event handler code here
//add onInitialUpdate() function to make changes before initial run of the reports
}
//End function window_onload

function setDdd2(combobox1)
{ if (combobox1.value == ('AView'))
{ document.getElementById('combobox2').disabled = true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('combobox2').disabled = false;
}
}


Finally I will call this function on the combobox1 as shown below :
id="combobox1" onchange="setDdd2(this)"

Thanks!

So I guess that you have an "onchange" event attached to your form object which has the "id" attribute "combobox1"?

It is unlikely that you have coded the "onchange" event to pass the object of "combobox1" so the quickest and easiest way would be for you to change you setDd2 function to -

function setDdd2() {
  if (document.getElementById('combobox1').value === 'AView') {
    document.getElementById('combobox2').disabled = true;
  } else {
    document.getElementById('combobox2').disabled = false;
  }
}

A quick tip, use indenting within your code. It may appear that you are being anal about neat code, but it does make a big difference in the speed at which you (and anyone coming behind you to support it!) can read and understand it.

Hi Tony,

Sure I will follow the indentation moving forward.
I tried your method also but nothing seems to be working:

Thanks!

One reason that nothing was happening maybe because the value that you are passing in combobox1 is not "AView" but "A View".

Also, the code that you have posted does not have an "onchange" event attached to combobox1? Nor does it have the JS to disabled combobox2?

T

Hi Tony,

The issue is not with the AView.It might be a typo.[Aview or AView is not the problem here]
Yes I had not included the validation part in the above code.

Please find my validation part below :
function setDdd2(combobox1)
{ if (combobox1.value == ('AView'))
{ document.getElementById('combobox2').disabled = true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('combobox2').disabled = false;
}
}
And finally I will call this function on the onchange event of combobox1 i.e.,
id="combobox1" onchange="setDdd2(this)"

Hope Iam clear now.

Thanks!

Hi,

The code[HTML] which I had posted above runs fine if I do not include the validation part and once I do add it, then It throws the same error message which I had stated earlier....


Thanks!

Thanks!

I am no expert at JS, but I would not think you can do an IF condition before you even have a variable set for combobox1.

How does it know the value for combobox1?

quote:

function setDdd2(combobox1)
{ if (combobox1.value == ('A View'))
{ document.getElementById('combobox2').disabled = true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('combobox2').disabled = false;
}
}

Add this

var Cbox1 = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('combobox1');

  

and use this in your IF conditions

 
      IbComposer_setCurrentSelection('combobox1', '1', false);

Why not keeping

function setDdd2(combobox1)

as

function setDdd2(ctrl)

And I also notice that:

if(ibigblInitInfo.testOptions(rltdyncalendar) && (typeof setDateRange === 'function')){setDateRange();setupDocCalendars();}

if(typeof doBeforeLoad === 'function'){doBeforeLoad();}function AdjustChildrenPosition()

if(typeof(szRunTimeHtmlAlias) === 'string'

have 3 times the equal sign ===

And finally, put the WHOLE code between [ code] [ /code] tag. Also it's more difficult when code is not properly indented and displayed on one single line.

Martin,

The === is a valid JavaScript test.

The code is displayed like that because IP has copy pasted it direct from the file and that is how DS constructs it.

and once I do add it

Are you using text editor to add the code or adding it via HTML composer?

Hi,

Mattc - The If condition works fine and I have validated it.It is throwing this error when I add the calendar control.If I remove the calendar control from the HTML page,the validation part is working fine.

Tony A - I just drag and drop the controls using the HTML composer everytime and to add only the Javascript validations,I do edit in the Text editor.

Hope Iam clear now.

Thanks!

quote:

using the HTML composer everytime

IP,

That's good because the HTML that you posted would not have worked after inserting via the text editor as, at least, one of the line of code would cause an issue. I just wanted to be sure that wasn't the cause of further problems.

T

Hi Tony,

I do the Javascript validations in the Text editor mode only upon drag and drop of the controls in the HTML Composer and every time my Javascript works fine except for this one...Iam not sure why Iam getting this kind of error

Any hints/ideas on how to resolve this is appreciated!

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Thanks!

info4pal,

Your HTML is breaking in the middle of your tags. If you were to never open the page in the text editor, this wouldn't ever be a problem. If all your doing is adding JS functions, you never need to do it in the text editor. The HTML Composer has an area for you to add your JS and you can add your onchange event through the properties of the element you want to effect.

Now that you have opened this up in the editor, the editor has some line length specification that will break the line at some point. It physically puts this break into the code, instead of just handling it as a display back to the user. The way to handle this is to "Fix" what the composer breaks. (I would call this out as a bug, but I'm tired of being told I have no reason to go into the code and fix what the composer breaks or can't handle). Basically, you need to put line breaks in for each of your tags and make sure that your elements don't wrap lines. As I look at your code, I see that the span tab with 'id=text18' is broken in the middle. And I see that in the XML the input_control tag for 'bindcontrolid="compUid_13"' is broken. Whenever I open the editor, I always check my line breaks for two reasons... 1) I can't read it when its all in one line like that and 2)because of the issue your describing.

As Tony says:

quote:

A quick tip, use indenting within your code. It may appear that you are being anal about neat code, but it does make a big difference in the speed at which you (and anyone coming behind you to support it!) can read and understand it.

In this case, you aren't just being Anal, you are actually making sure that the code will execute properly.

Hi,

Thanks a lot Eric.woerle for the tips!
Once again thank you everyone for the hints and ideas and I will try to implement the same in my code.

Regards!
