extract a dcr using javascript

Does anyone know how to read the data from the dcr and populate in a form using javascript ? I can directly open the dcr (by double clicking it), but then the is data is read-only. I apologize, if this has been discussed in the past. Thanks for your help.

you better describe your scenario and intended use a bit better, it very unclear what you are trying to do

hi greg,
i create a dcr thru forms API by extracting different fields from the form. What I want to do is read the DCR I created and populate the form (to allow my
users to edit the dcr). I do not know what API to use. Thanks,

well, it's still not clear.

how do you create a DCR using formAPI? DCR is created by the DCT after it's saved.

if you want to pre-populate a DCR from fields of another DCR, this could be done via workflow.

please be more specific. Possibly, describe all the steps in the process one by one

Sri11,
I don't think you can do file read writes with JavaScript at all. So maybe what you are trying to do using javascript is not possible.

As Greg suggested, you could use Workflow based approach and run some external task scripts to achieve this.

I've used JavaScript and ActiveX objects built into IE such as Microsoft.XMLDOM, Msxml2.XMLHTTP, Microsoft.XMLHTTP to read other DCRs in TeamSite- not write though...

However I have no idea if this is what is trying to be achieved in this case -- it is really unclear.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your posts. For some reason, I could not see the edit link for dcr, thats why I was looking for ways to load it from javascript. I am now eble to edit it directly. Thanks,
