Set label value from JS

Hi All,

Thanks in advance. I am trying to set the label for an item in the template from the JS. I checked the FormAPI guide and was not able to find any useful function. Is there a way we can do it?

Thanks!

You can hack it but IMO it's not worth it. Starting with 6.7 FormAPI has well, API to manipulate Items' Labels and Descriptions

Thanks for your reply. Even if it is not possible by label, is there any other way to display text after the text field. My intention is before displaying the web page, it should check in the database for a value, and display the result next to the text field. Ex:

Name : ...................(text box) Result : Belongs Dept1

OR the other way

Name : ...................(text box)
(Result : Belongs Dept1)

Make a pair of two adjacent text Items using rowcontinue, populate the second one using DCT Inline if you can or FormAPI's
callServer if you must and set isReadOnly to true for the second item in the Pair

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to use the 2nd item with rowcontinue. But the problem is 'the item is displaying the html element like text box'. I don't want to display the text box there even with size 1. The other thing is I want to display the text of this item from perl variable. I tried to use the inline command(inside the item), but the result is not showing up and also there is no error.

But same inline command is working at some other place :
[html]

[/html]

Here are the questions :
1. How can I use inline command in item?
2. How can I hide the text box of an item(item with only description)?

Thanks!

I think the intention was that you would make the second item without a label (or an empty string label) and then just have the text box, with a default value, set to read-only so that it appears as read-only text after the first item.

Please read the FormsPublisher Developer's Guide for information about inlines - if you still don't understand after reading the manual, please post a more detailed question about what you don't understand.
