Using Callouts with a Visual Format field

Bjorn

Has anyone ever used a callout to populate a visual format instance?

I am trying to and in the javascript callback, it doesn't even recognize the visual format field as an element.

In the script below the "calloutForm.elements[i-1].value = value;
" should be the visual format field, but it's "skipping" it and going to the previous field, which would seem to be "calloutForm.elements[i-2].value = value"


<script>
function callback(key, value){
var calloutForm = eval($form_name);
for ( i = 0 ; i < calloutForm.elements.length ; i++ ) {
if (calloutForm.elements.name == '$element_name'){
calloutForm.elements.value = key;
calloutForm.elements[i-1].value = value;
break;
}
}
opener.top.datacapture.refreshForm();
self.close()
}
</script>

I am not sure it would be more reliable, but can you use FormAPI to locate and populate the item? This looping is really old school.
