Facing Problem with FormAPI !!!!!!!

Hi.

I am using below code to get selected Item from a select box which is there under ruleset directly.

item = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Owner");
alert(item);
label = item.getOptions()[item.getValue()].text;
alert(label);

No success any problem with this. This I took from FormAPI guide ?

Thanks.

Can you post your datacapture.cfg also make sure you have the pathid set on the item you are trying to retrieve.

Your syntax is correct, only problem should be with the item Xpath only.
Is Owner the first item and is not part of any replicant.

Please find the attached dct. In this case is pathid mandatory ?

var item = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Owner");
if (item) {
   var chosen = item.getValue();
   alert((chosen != null)? item.getOptions()[chosen].text : 'Nothing Chosen!');
}

The DCT you posted is a metadata datacapture.cfg as opposed to a FormsPublisher datacapture.cfg - and thus the discussion regarding FormAPI code is irrelevant since (currently) FormAPI is not supported for metadata datacapture.cfg.

In addition, the DCT you posted shows no reference to any FormAPI code - and FormAPI does not work by osmosis ....

var item = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Owner");
if (item) {
var chosen = item.getValue();
alert((chosen != null)? item.getOptions()[chosen].text : 'Nothing Chosen!');
}

Thanks for your reply. My Dev environment is down, once that comes up I will try your code.

Ghoti: I have just given item of DCT which is working without JS code. As you pointed that is not metadata datacapture.cfg, our DCT's have been coded in that fashion only they are there since from a long time before I joined my current company :-)) . On this DCT I have kept other JS code fro some other requirement which is working fine.

Thanks.
