I am using the following code to remove commas from an integer (whole number) field in CRM 2011:
function Form_onload()
{
document.getElementById("new_universalid").value =Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_universalid").getValue();
}
The issue is that for any accounts/contacts w/out a value for 'new_universalid', it's displaying the word "null".
My goal is to display a blank field, rather than the word NULL.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
The simplest way I can explain it and that is most obvious to understand is as follows, simply check to make sure the value is not null before assigning:
function Form_onload()
{
var new_uid=Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_universalid").getValue();
if(new_uid != null){
document.getElementById("new_universalid").value = new_uid;
}
}

I'm quite new to coding. My goal is to make a simple "daily planner" page where you can save text in each line. I was trying to do this via local.storage, but I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
I've tried get vs setitem (which I'm not sure if there's a difference) I tried renaming my elements.
div.text(dailyPlanner[i].hour);
let textbox = $("<textarea>");
textbox.attr("data-hour", dailyPlanner[i].line);
textbox.addClass("col-8 col-md-10 description");
textbox.val(dailyPlanner[i].text);
if (currVal !== null) {
localStorage.setItem(textbox, line);
let textbox = localStorage.setItem(textbox)
}
The key needs to be a string so make the key "textbox" and also, what is the value of currVal? Can you confirm it isn't null?
I see two problems in your setIem call:
You are using an html node as a key (textbox) while you should use a string
You are using line as a value, which is undefined in your present code.
So you can try this instead, or adapt this to your case.
localStorage.setItem(dailyPlanner[i].text, dailyPlanner[i].line);
I'm trying to get parseFloat to convert a userInput (prompt) into a number.
For example:
var userInput = prompt("A number","5,000")
function parse_float(number) {
return parseFloat(number)
}
When userInput = 5,000, parse_Float(userInput) returns 5.
However, if the user was inputting a value to change something else (ie: make a bank deposit or withdrawl) Then I to work properly, parse.Float(userInput) needs to return 5000, not 5.
If anyone could tell me how to do this it would help me so much. Thanks in advance.
Your answer is close, but not quite right.
replace doesn't change the original string; it creates a new one. So you need to create a variable to hold the new string, and call parseFloat on that.
Here's the fixed code:
function parseFloatIgnoreCommas(number) {
var numberNoCommas = number.replace(/,/g, '');
return parseFloat(numberNoCommas);
}
I also renamed the function to parseFloatIgnoreCommas, which better describes what it does.
This is the function I use to scrub my user inputted numbers from a form. It handles anything a user may put in with a number like $ or just accidentally hitting a key.
I copied the following out of an object:
cleanInput : function(userValue){
//clean the user input and scrub out non numerals
var cleanValue = parseFloat(userValue.replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g,""));
return cleanValue;
},
To make it non-object just change the first line to cleanInput(){....
I have put together info from the comments to form a basic answer:
The answer seems to simply be to set parse_float to run :
number.replace(/,/g, "")
return parseFloat(number)
The complete code would look like this:
var userInput = prompt("A number","523,000,321,312,321")
function parse_float(number) {
number.replace(/,/g, "")
return parseFloat(number)
}
returns: 523000321312321
Here's the issue with Podio. I have a calculation field that is set to return a date and it does that well if I only enter a reference to a date field from the item. What I want is for the calculation field to return a null date (as part of an IF statement) and thus leave or make the field empty (and therefore not show up in the calendar).
Something like this:
var date = DateFieldFromPodioItem;
if (whatever) {
moment(date).add(2, "weeks").toDate();
}
else {
//RETURN NULL HERE
};
I have tried setting var zero = null and have it return that. Which yields me an Invalid date error.
I also tried using .setFullYear(null,null,null) along with .setHours(null,null,null,null) to set date and return that. I set date to 1 January 0001 12:00:00.000 AM as was suggested somewhere (I forgot where I read that). The first got me a rather unfriendly: Invalid value datetime.datetime(1753, 9, 12, 22, 43, 41, 128000) (datetime): Dates before year 1900 are not supported. The second did too, with slightly different numbers within the ().
I even tried the rather silly idea of entering no code within else, but that also returns Invalid date.
Any ideas?
----EDIT----
Turns out that even while Podio shows the message Invalid date it lets you save the field anyway and when changing field values so if=false it shows no longer a date in the calculation field. Thanks to Rainer Grabowski for pointing that out to me. If someone #Podio reads this, perhaps fix that?
I'll leave this here to perhaps help someone else, as I have found the answer to my questions on here rather often.
Should work, but I didn't test:
var date = DateFieldFromPodioItem;
var returnValue = null;
if (whatever) {
returnValue = moment(date).add(2, "weeks").toDate();
}
returnValue;
I've found some code on a site and been tinkering with it a little. It involves some functions to add and delete students (the add code is below) from an array - into a value field. I can't figure out why in tarnations we need this extra piece of code, however.
Here is the js code:
var students = ['Paulie', 'Nicole', 'Kevin', 'Mare'];
function addClick(){
var addRemove = document.getElementById('addRemoveStudent');
var studentsBox = document.getElementById('studentsBox')
students.push(addRemove.value);
addRemove.value = '';
studentsBox.value = students.join(', ');
}
My question is: Why do we need the addRemove.value = ''; line? I've tested it without that code and it still works fine. Is there a reason we need that?
I can send more code including the HTML but didn't what to overwhelm anyone with the volume.
Thanks so much in advance!

It's not necessary. I guess semantically it means to clear the addRemove box first before replacing the value.
It's optional, but it's simply to clear the text box so the user can enter a brand new value if they want to run the function again.
To clear the value of the addRemoveStudent ( I think it is a input type="text") Just for it, It is not needed in the array. Just to clear the value of that control.
Presumably addRemove is an input element. Setting the value property of an input element to an empty string '' means that the input is emptied: it will have no text in it.
My guess is that this function is run when a button is clicked, so it adds a new student to the array, updates the studentsBox field with the right data, and clears the input element so you can add more if the user wishes to do so.
I'm trying check a field in a database to see if it does not contain either "UK_CONTACTS or a blank. If it is either of these conditions I want to copy the that field to another field. I am very very new at this and have come up with the following and have written in text "does not contain" as I don't know the correct syntax for javascript.
function getdbasename(){
var dbasedata = document.forms[0]._dbase_name.value;
}
If (dbasedata does not contain "UK_CONTACTS" || dbasedata does not contain " ") {
_area.value = _dbase_name.value;
}
Probably miles out but it's my best shot.
I think you want indexOf(). If dbasedata.indexOf(someString) is anything but -1, it contains someString.
You'll need the indexOf('what you need to check for') function on the string you want to check.
E.g. (field.value.indexOf('myvalue') > 0) will be true if field.value contains the term 'myvalue'
