With the following code, I try to set 2 field values  (LastUpdated_by and LastUpdated_time) at the moment a custom submit button is pressed.

function CmdSave::OnClick(eventObj)
{
 var curDate = new Date()
 var sLastUpdated_by = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:EMPLOYEE_NOT_ON_SITE/@LastUpdated_by");
 var sLastUpdated_time = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:EMPLOYEE_NOT_ON_SITE/@LastUpdated_time"); 
 sLastUpdated_by.text = GetLogin();
 sLastUpdated_time.text =  curDate
 try
  {
  // save all changes made.
  XDocument.Submit();
  }catch(Oeps)
   {
   XDocument.UI.Alert("Er is een fout opgetreden: \n\n\tOfwel is er een verplicht veld niet ingevuld (rood *),\n\tOfwel is er een ongeldige waarde ingevuld (rode stippellijn)");   
   return;
   }
 var objEmail = XDocument.DataAdapters("Sendto2Approver")
 objEmail.Submit()
}

But it doesn't work. The variables sLastUpdated_by and sLastUpdated_time point to null. I'm sure one of you knows what I am doing wrong this time.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You have your assignments out of order.

You set your field values before you GetLogin() and currDate.

Try This...

function CmdSave::OnClick(eventObj)
{
 var curDate = new Date()

 sLastUpdated_by.text = GetLogin();
 sLastUpdated_time.text =  curDate
 var sLastUpdated_by = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:EMPLOYEE_NOT_ON_SITE/@LastUpdated_by");
 var sLastUpdated_time = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:EMPLOYEE_NOT_ON_SITE/@LastUpdated_time"); 

 try
  {
  // save all changes made.
  XDocument.Submit();
  }catch(Oeps)
   {
   XDocument.UI.Alert("Er is een fout opgetreden: \n\n\tOfwel is er een verplicht veld niet ingevuld (rood *),\n\tOfwel is er een ongeldige waarde ingevuld (rode stippellijn)");   
   return;
   }
 var objEmail = XDocument.DataAdapters("Sendto2Approver")
 objEmail.Submit()
}

Thanks for the suggestion, but your code doesn't work.

Anyhow I tought you first need to declare your variables before assigning a value. I think it has to see with the fact that this code is assigned to a button, the same thing works if it used in the 'onafterchange' event of a control.

You would need to debug, I often have an Alert with my variables fire at various points to be able to track their states.

Have you verified your GetLogin() is working and set you curDate somewhere else?

GetLogin() is working fine, just like it should. After sLastUpdated_by = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:EMPLOYEE_NOT_ON_SITE/@LastUpdated_by") sLastUpdated_by seems to be 'null'  (I've seen in the Wath window) and cannot be assigned a value.

Yah, Now going back and looking at your code you have it right.

I would try specifying a value on your assignment. Set Last Updated by to "Bob" or something to verify this functionality.

You could also add an alert on the IP field before and after too.

Hi stumbler,

Once see the prefix for the attributes (LastUpdated_by, LastUpdated_time) in the XPath and then try again. I worked out with an example.

Hope this will help you.
