how to set value in a dct from an ipl file?

I want to populate value to a visual editor feild in the current dct from an ipl file.

function set_datacapture_item_value( selectedValue )
{
if ((window.opener == null) ||
(window.opener.closed))
{
return false;
}

var calloutForm = eval($form_name);
if (!calloutForm)
{
return false;
}

var calloutElementFound = false;
for ( i = 0 ; i < calloutForm.elements.length ; i++ )
{
if (calloutForm.elements.name == '$element_name')
{
**************i need the value here**************************
calloutForm.elements.value = selectedValue;
calloutElementFound = true;
break;
}
}
if (!calloutElementFound)
{
return false;
}

return true;
}

does the IWDatacapture.getItem work from an ipl file?

you'd need to use callSever to invoke a script remotely and then (possibly) massage data before setting a value of an item. no matter what is the type of the item

How did you call your ipl file from the DCT?

Thank you for the response..

I invoked using in the callout:

when i was debugging, i got all the form object types except the visual editor type. So this callout helps... The objective is to read values from a xml and populate in the visual text area. It populates properly to text and textareas.

Thanks again.
