Using Javascript as look up for form value

[CaseyR]

Hi,

I would like to use javascripts to look up values for a form much the way we use the JQuery script to lookup a date.  The lookups are a time picker and a color picker so they don't rely on external data.  I have the scripts and can return the values on a static page but getting them into an NT form is proving pretty difficult.  Is there an example  or some documentation somewhere on how to do this?

Using NT5 and Clarion 7.2

Thanks

you should be able to put them into the "value" of the field itself.

ie after the lookup, the field itself is set with the value that was selected.

The only thing that might be missing from this scenario is the "immediate send to server" when the value is changed by the lookup. I'd need to check up the code for that. But the value would definitely be in POST when the user clicks on Save...

Cheers

Hi, Bruce

Still struggling with this issue.   I can execute DOM script from the on focus or on change javascript entries in NT, but I am having no success using any JQuery scripts.  The script libraries are entered in the web server procedure and are referenced in the XHTML source.

Could you provide an example of an entry that would trigger a JQuery script, say on-focus?  Doesn't matter what, just something that executes.

I am sure it is something basic that I don't understand.

Thanks

Hi Casey,

It'll take me as long to show something simple as something specific. So do you have a script in mind that I can see? Perhaps there's some specific detail about that script which you're missing?

Thanks, Bruce

The easiest example would just be to call the date picker on focus.  It doesn't have to return the value at this point, just an example of the entry to call a jQuery script.
