getItem() on a container item

I am using v 6.0 and am trying to get access to an item within a container. The following code is returning null.

IWDatacapture.getItem("/section/child/type")

where section is the root-container
child is container
type is the item.

Any thoughts?

It should work exactly as you have it, if you are describing it correctly. If you want to post your .js and dct, perhaps someone can look at them and help you out.

It will help if you post the datacapture.cfg

Can you replace the "/section/child/type" with "section/child/type" and try. It should work.

The item I'm trying to get access to is inside a container (replicant), so in order to get at the piece of data I need the code has to look like:

/section/child/type

This works. Thanks!

Hello,

I am trying to acquire the value of a 'replicated' field in a container with no luck. Can you PLEASE post a snippet of how you referenced the field?

Many Thanks!

Here is a sample:
itemName = "/banners/Banner["+j+"]/image";
currentItem = IWDatacapture.getItem(itemName);
