Office.js outlook add-in issue

I'm trying to get the Body in Outlook and then update/set it with categories. My issue is this - when I debug it - it works fine. But when I don't debug from function to function - it gets all the way to the last function and just stops - updateBody(). What's really strang is if I remove the breakpoints on each function and just set a breakpoint on last function - never gets hit, but console will write out "Starting update body". All the console.logs are writing out data as expected. Not sure what is going on. Appreciate any help! Thanks.
"use strict";
var item;
var response;
var tags;
var updatedBody;
Office.initialize = function () {
$(document).ready(function () {
// The document is ready
item = Office.context.mailbox.item;
debugger;
getBodyType();
});
}
function getBodyType() {
item.body.getTypeAsync(
function (resultBody) {
if (resultBody.status == Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
write(resultBody.error.message);
} else {
response = resultBody;
console.log('Successfully got BodyType');
console.log(response.value);
getCategories();
}
});
}
function getCategories() {
tags = "";
// Successfully got the type of item body.
// Set data of the appropriate type in body.
item.categories.getAsync(function (asyncResult) {
if (asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
console.log("Action failed with error: " + asyncResult.error.message);
} else {
var categories = asyncResult.value;
console.log("Categories:");
categories.forEach(function (item) {
var tag = item.displayName;
tags += '#' + tag.replace(/\s/g, "") + ' ';
});
console.log('Successfully got tags');
console.log(tags);
getBody();
}
});
}
function getBody() {
var body = "";
updatedBody = "";
console.log("Starting get body");
if (response.value == Office.MailboxEnums.BodyType.Html) {
item.body.getAsync(
Office.CoercionType.Html,
{ asyncContext: "This is passed to the callback" },
function (result) {
//Replace all the # tags and update again.
body = result.value.replaceAll(/#(\w)+/g, "").trimEnd();
var domParser = new DOMParser();
var parsedHtml = domParser.parseFromString(body, "text/html");
$("body", parsedHtml).append("<div>" + tags + "</div>");
var changedString = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(parsedHtml);
if (changedString != "") {
updatedBody = changedString;
}
console.log(updatedBody);
updateBody();
});
}
}
function updateBody() {
console.log("Starting update body");
item.body.setAsync(
updatedBody,
{ coercionType: Office.CoercionType.Html },
function (result2) {
console.log("Body updated");
});
}
Image - With breakpoints on each function - works as expected
Image - Without breakpoints - gets to updateBody() function.
But the string updatedBody isn't logged. It somehow skips over that
even though it's called before updateBody() on getBody()
Image - Same code run via Script Lab - works just fine as well.

Cannot communicate between captivate html and parent html

I have a published captivate html file that is loaded into an iframe of another html. I cannot communicate between the two, not even with localStorage. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Parent html
var everythingLoaded = setInterval(function () {
if (/loaded|complete/.test(document.readyState)) {
clearInterval(everythingLoaded);
init();
}
}, 10);
function init() {
ScormProcessInitialize();
var studentID = ScormProcessGetValue("cmi.core.student_id");
var student_name = ScormProcessGetValue ("cmi.core.student_name");
var nameArraya = student_name.split(" ");
var nameArrayb = nameArraya[1].split(",");
var studentNumber = nameArrayb[0];
ScormProcessSetValue("cmi.core.lesson_status", "incomplete");
localStorage.setItem("_studentNumber", studentNumber);
alert("Student Number: " + studentNumber + " Student Mame: " + student_name);
setTimeout(function () {
document.getElementById("iFrame_a").innerHTML = "<iframe name='iframe_1' id='frame_1' src='//somepath.com/sandbox/somecourse/index.html' frameborder='0' width='1000px' height='605px'></iframe>";
}, 250);
}
function sendComplete() {
alert("Send from index start!");
ScormProcessSetValue("cmi.core.lesson_status", "completed");
alert("send status: Completed");
}
window.onbeforeunload = function (){
cpInfoCurrentSlide = localStorage.getItem("_cpInfoCurrentSlide")
alert(cpInfoCurrentSlide);
if(cpInfoCurrentSlide >= 40)
{
alert("onbeforeunload called: " + cpInfoCurrentSlide )
ScormProcessSetValue("cmi.core.lesson_status", "completed");
}
}
iframe code snippet
localStorage.setItem("_cpInfoCurrentSlide", cpInfoCurrentSlide);

I believe your problem is with onbeforeunload. As I remember captivate packages clobber any functions associated with onbeforeunload in the parent frame when they load.
Try this instead, override your SCORM api setvalue method:
var oldLMSSetValue = window.API.LMSSetValue;
window.API.LMSSetValue = function(key, value){
if(key === 'cmi.core.lesson_status' && value === 'completed'){
//do your stuff here
cpInfoCurrentSlide = localStorage.getItem("_cpInfoCurrentSlide")
alert(cpInfoCurrentSlide);
}
//call the original scorm api function so that it runs as expected.
oldLMSSetValue(key,value);
};
edit: this code would go in the parent window, not the iframe.

Controls won't work after a recursive call jquery

I am opening mvc view(s) inside a modal dialog.
I am trying to make a recursive call and the problem I am facing is : after the recursive call the view loads properly but none of the controls on the view work :
In Main.js :
$(function () {
$(document).on('click', '.ddlCart li', Mod.Carts);
}
Carts.js :
var Mod = Mod || {};
Mod.Carts = function (e) {
var ddlselectedVal = $(this).attr('id');
var selectedListinsCount = selected_Listings.length;
var SelectedMlsnums = selected_Listings.join();
var agentId = $("#AgentId").val();
var Action;
var EnvironmentURL = $("#EnvironmentURL").val();
var postData = { AgentId: agentId, Mlsnums: SelectedMlsnums, ActionTypeValue: “PreAddToCart” };
var close = function (event, ui) {
$('#dvModalDialog').dialog("close");
}
var open = function (event, ui) {
var url = EnvironmentURL + "MLSReports/Stats/SearchContacts";
$("#btncart_cancel").on("click", function () {
$('#dvModalDialog').dialog("close");
});
$("#btncart_submit").on("click", function () {
var url = EnvironmentURL + "MLSReports/Stats/Cart";
//Send the data using post and put the results in a div
$.post(url, {
AgentId: agentId, Mlsnums: SelectedMlsnums, ActionTypeValue: "AddToCart"
},
function (data) {
// Replace current data with data from the ajax call to the div.
$("#dvModalDialog").empty().append(data);
});
});
$("#lnkCreateNewcart").on("click", function () {
var url = EnvironmentURL + "MLSReports/Stats/Cart";
//Send the data using post and put the results in a div
$.post(url, {
ActionTypeValue: "preAddorEditContact"
},
function (data) {
//debugger;
// Replace current data with data from the ajax call to the div.
$("#dvModalDialog").empty().append(data);
$("#btnCancelContact").on("click", function () {
////********** replace the view (Contact) with the view (Cart).
// In the cancel event I am loading the previous page.I am having problem here. after a recursive call none of the controls work.**
// rd.open();
this.Mod.Carts();
});
});
});
};
if (ddlselectedVal == "AddtoCart") {
var rd = Mod.ReportsDialog({ title: 'Add To Cart', close: close, open: open });
rd.url = EnvironmentURL + "/MLSReports/Stats/Cart";
rd.targetElement = '#dvModalDialog'// '#dvSendEmail'
rd.formName = '#frmCart'
rd.postData = postData
rd.open();
}
};

The value of this inside of the referenced function is going to be different when this.Mod.Carts(); is used. You should use call in this scenario to bind the value of this to the proper value when calling the Carts function.
$("#btnCancelContact").on("click", function () {
Mod.Carts.call(this);
});

focusin event using on not firing

I am attempting to perform some action on the foucsin of the textbox. However, for some reason the event never fires.
$(".ddlAddListinTo li").click(function () {
var urlstring = "../ActionTypes";
$.post(urlstring, function (data) {
$(window.open(urlstring, 'Contacts', 'width=750, height=400')).load(function (e) {
// Here "this" will be the pop up window.
$(this.document).find('#txtAutocompleteContact').on({
'focusin': function (event) {
alert('You are inside the Contact text box of the Contacts Popup');
}
});
});
});
});

When doing it that way, you generally have to find the body or use contents() to access the contents, as in
$(this.document).contents().find('#txtAutocompleteContact')
but in this case using a little plain javascript seems more appropriate :
$(".ddlAddListinTo li").on('click', function () {
var urlstring = "../ActionTypes";
$.post(urlstring, function (data) {
var wind = window.open(urlstring, 'Contacts', 'width=750, height=400');
wind.onload = function() {
var elem = this.document.getElementById('txtAutocompleteContact');
$(elem).on('focus', function() {
alert('You are inside the Contact text box of the Contacts Popup');
});
}
});
});

pjax/ajax and browser back button issues

I use pjax to ajaxify my menu links. This works fine until I use the browser back button. In my javascript file I use Common Script files (to load all the necessary js files when the user hits the url) and Script files with respect to each menu links (when navigated through pjax)
function myFunction(){
/*All the script files */
}
$(document).ready(function(){
myFunction();
/*pjax menu loading block*/
$(document).on('click', 'a[data-pjax]', function(event) {
$.pjax.click(event, '#pjax-container');
$(document).on('pjax:end', function() {
myFunction();
});
});
});
Now when I navigate to a menu item and try to come back by clicking the browser back button, the script files are getting duplicated (eg: slider images getting duplicated and table sorting not working).How to overcome this issue?

You can implement the url specific loading this way, create a queue of functions which you want to load and unload on pjax complete
The solution is based on js prototyping
// create queue for load and unload
var onLoad = new PjaxExecQueue();
var onUnload = new PjaxExecQueue();
// way to add functions to queue to run on pjax load
onLoad.queue(function() {
someFunction();
});
// way to add functions to queue to unload on pjax load
onUnload.queue(function() {
someOtherFunction();
});
// load function if url contain particular path name
onLoad.queue_for_url(function_name, 'url_section');
// check for url specific function
var URLPjaxQueueElement = function(exec_function, url) {
this.method = exec_function;
if(url) {
this.url = new RegExp(url);
} else {
this.url = /.*/;
}
};
// create a queue object
var PjaxExecQueue = function () {
this.url_exec_queue = [];
this.id_exec_queue = [];
this.fired = false;
this.indicating_loading = false;
this.content = $('#content');
};
PjaxExecQueue.prototype = {
queue: function (exec_function) {
this.url_exec_queue.unshift(new URLPjaxQueueElement(exec_function));
},
queue_for_url: function (exec_function, url_pattern) {
this.url_exec_queue.unshift(new URLPjaxQueueElement(exec_function, url_pattern));
},
queue_if_id_present: function(exec_function, id) {
this.id_exec_queue.unshift(new IDPjaxQueueElement(exec_function, id));
},
fire: function () {
if(this.indicating_loading) {
this.content.removeClass("indicate-loading");
this.indicating_loading = false;
}
if(!this.fired) {
var match_loc = window.location.pathname;
var i = this.url_exec_queue.length;
while(i--) {
this.url_exec_queue[i].fire(match_loc);
}
i = this.id_exec_queue.length;
while(i--) {
this.id_exec_queue[i].fire(match_loc);
}
}
this.fired = true;
},
reset: function() {
this.fired = false;
},
loading: function () {
this.content.addClass("indicate-loading");
this.indicating_loading = true;
this.reset();
},
count: function () {
return exec_queue.length;
},
show: function (for_url) {
for (var i=0; i < exec_queue.length; i++) {
if(for_url) {
if(exec_queue[i].url.test(for_url)) {
console.log("" + exec_queue[i].method);
}
} else{
console.log(exec_queue[i].url + " : " + exec_queue[i].method);
}
}
}
};
// before send
$(document).on('pjax:beforeSend', function() {
onLoad.loading();
onUnload.fire();
});
// after pjax complete
$(document).on('pjax:complete', function() {
onLoad.fire();
onUnload.reset();
});
