Hi all,

Is it possible to use the function "local-name", within managed JScript Code.

I tried simply typing in "local-name", and used a field from the data source as its parameter, but it comes up with an error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Reg,
What does local-name function do? What is the error?

Hi Patrick,

The local-name function:
"Returns the local part of the expanded name of the node in the node-set argument that is first in document order"

I basically want to use it to return the name of the datasource field.

The full intent is to be able to create some script which will cycle through all elements in the datasource, and display a list of fields that have not met certain circumstances.

The error that I am getting is:
"Local is not defined", but that is because I simply entered local-name(XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1").text); which I assume doesn't work because it doesn't know where the function is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

- Reg.

Try this:

XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1").nodeName

In this case, it should return "my:field1".

Thanks a lot for the idea MFaus.

The only problem with your solution is that it adds a "my:" at the start.

However, after some research, I found a way to get just the name of the field: If you use
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1").baseName
it will return field1 only.

Thanks again for your help.
