Calling javascript in metadat capture form

Hi,

I need to perform certain validations in my metadata capture form. For that, I need to call javascript function inside the datacapture.cfg(inside iw-hom\local\config).
I tried that but the function does not get called. Any pointers ??

TIA,
Deepa

FormAPI is not supported for metadata capture. At least, not for versions up to and including TeamSite 6.1. I think I remember hearing that it's supported in 6.5, but I'm not sure of that.

i think it will be open in 7,. I have not tried 6.5, but my gut feeling is that metadata capture has not been touched in 6.5

Anyone had any luck in hacking/getting this to work? I would like to pre-populate a field.. expiration date... when the metadata capture page loads.. that is if there isn't already a value in there. So I figure I could use the validation for this?

What you need to do is have your own script called instead of the OOTB metadata capture CGI -- your script would take care of prepopulating values (using iwextattr and then call the real metadata capture CGI. The last part is something like:print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print join("",
qq(<html>\n),
qq(<head>\n),
qq(<meta http-equiv="refresh"),
qq(content="0;URL=$strUrl),
qq(?$strQueryParams),
qq(&donePage=/iw-cc/teamsite/common/refresh_parent_and_close_window.html">\n),
qq(<title>Prepopulating metadata form...</title>\n),
qq(</head>\n<body>\n</body>\n</html>\n));where $strUrl is /iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/iwmetadata.cgi and $strQueryParams is of the form vpath=/default/main/.../filename (make sure to replace any white-space characters with %20)
