Infinite loop on saving after setting value for a item in container

TeamSite: 6.7.1 SP1

Hi,
I am trying to set a value for an item inside a container in the "onSave" event.
On triggering of the event we loop through each item inside the container to set some value in our javascript function.

When we click the 'save' action link in the datacapture template, everything is working fine as expected. But when we click on the 'Finish' button directly after modifying the data we're running into an infinite loop.

Pls help me to resolve it.

Thanks

The finish button is a IWDatacapture object constant "SAVECLOSE_BUTTON".
The save button is the "SAVE_BUTTON" IWDatacature object constant.

Have you any other logic around the save event that may be causing conflicts of the above constants and thus cause a deadlock state or 'infinite loop' ?

Does Save As, Preview and Generate result in the same 'infinite loop' behaviour ?

Can you post your code ?

Can you please paste your javascript code that you've mentioned.

We're facing the same issue on clicking 'preview'. 'saveAs' and 'Generate' is disabled for the datatype.

These are the events we've configured on the save events,


IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveValid", codeGenerate);
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSave", removeTag);
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveDone", saveDone);

function removeTag()
{

 var item1="ProductSupplement/Details/ProductSupplementdetail";
 var container = IWDatacapture.getItem(item1).getChildren();
 for(var i=1;i<=container.length;i++)
 {
 var greeting_text= IWDatacapture.getItemitem1+"["+i+"]/Description").getValue();
 greeting_text=greeting_text.replace(/^\/,"");
 greeting_text=greeting_text.replace(/\<\/p\>/,""); 
IWDatacapture.getItem(item1+"["+i+"]/Description").setValue(greeting_text);
 alert(greeting_text);
 }
return true;
}

We reckon the line which is in bold is causing us the problem. Just as a trial and error we commented that line and tried clicking the 'Finish' button then everything's working fine.
Is there by chance any mistake we've done in this removeTag() function ?
Because this is the newly added function in this datacapture. All other functions mentioned above (codeGenerate() and saveDone() ) were tested and working fine earlier. So we don't think there will be any issues in those functions.

Thanks.

The code looks OK to me.

I would isolate this function. So remove everything except your onSave function and get this working.

See if you still get the same behaviour.

Bala_R

Yes, We're getting the same issue even after removing those functions.
It is working fine when we click the 'Save' link but not on clicking the 'Finish' button.

Be sure that you have deactivated all other functions and feel free to post your entire code with the save function in isolation but this looks like it could be something for Support.

try this


 var greeting_text= IWDatacapture.getItemitem1+"["+i+"]/Description").getValue();
 greeting_text=greeting_text.replace(/^\/,"");
 greeting_text=greeting_text.replace(/\<\/p\>/,"");

 var temp = greeting_text+""; 

IWDatacapture.getItem(item1+"["+i+"]/Description").setValue(temp);

I think this should work.

Yes, We're getting the same issue even after removing those functions.
It is working fine when we click the 'Save' link but not on clicking the 'Finish' button.

It would be helpful to post the JS code in its entirety, especially those functions you added to save events (codeGenerate, removeTag and saveDone).

Bjorn

IWDatacapture.getItem(item1+"["+i+"]/Description").setValue(greeting_text);
We reckon the line which is in bold is causing us the problem.

Out of curiosity, is the item on which you're using setValue (in bold) a TinyMCE field.

If yes, do you have the "fullpage" plugin configured as a plugin?
