Getting Error on ListBox

Got it. Thanks. I was wondering about what was different. So just to make sure, I will change


to


And then reference in the VALUES_onBlur
if (id == "select1") {
var empname = lawForm.getFormValue("select1");
lawForm.setFormValue("hidden50",empname);

OK, it left out my post that time.

fld al="left" blankzero="1" col="42" ed="upper" height="1" id="text2" label="Level1 Approv" nbr="_f4" nm="ZZR-LEVEL1-APPROV" row="13" sz="15" tp="Text"

will be

fld al="left" blankzero="1" col="42" ed="upper" height="1" id="hidden50" label="Level1 Approv" nbr="_f4" nm="ZZR-LEVEL1-APPROV" row="13" sz="15" tp="Hidden"

That looks good to me (assuming select1 is your list box).  Let me know if that does the trick.

Will do. Appreciate all the help.

OK. I lied. I am experiencing a couple of anomalies. I use the code that you first had given me to display the name. It works great in VALUES_OnBlur. I figured, why not populate the names on an inquire instead of a read to the database. It seems to work sometimes and others not. The values are there because they appear in the drop down list and once I select, the name appears. Any ideas on that?

And as for the hidden fields, I can rename it and it still works for populating the database. It seems though once I make it hidden it stops working.

And this one should be easy for you I am sure. I was changing the text boxes to read only depending on the user. Worked fine for text boxes. Not so much it looks like for select boxes.
lawForm.getFormElement("text5").readOnly=true; works
lawForm.getFormElement("select5").readOnly=true; doesn't work

Thanks again.

Are you populating names in the FORM_OnAfterTransaction function?  You'll find that even though the list box shows a value, it's not actually "selected".  So what you need to do is set the select form field to the value of the data that came back in the transaction and then call the routine to get the display value for the selected value.  For example, here is what I did for state:

 //Select the state in the state list box.
 lawForm.setFormValue("select35",lawForm.getDataValue("VDR-STATE"));

 // Put the state name in the textbox next to the state.
 lawForm.setFormValue("text85",getSelectedListboxValue("_l623"));

Incidentally, I placed the getSelectedListboxValue in a global functions include file so I can just call it with one line rather than coding that loop everywhere.  Here is the function:

function getSelectedListboxValue(lb) {
 
 /* This function returns the display value of the selected item in a listbox.
  Example call: var myselectedvalue = getSelectedListboxValue("_l623"); */
 var myDisplayValue = ''; // This is the value that will be returned to the caller.
 var myListbox = lawForm.getElement(lb); // This gets a reference to the list box.
 
 // Loop through all the items in the list box until we find the one that was selected.
 for (var i=1; i < myListbox.childNodes.length; i++) {
  if (myListbox.childNodes.selected == true) { // Test to see if the item is selected.
   myDisplayValue = myListbox.childNodes.attributes['disp'].nodeValue; // Get the display value of the selected item.
   break; //This breaks out of the for loop.  No need to continue checking items after we've found the selected item.
  }
 }

 return myDisplayValue;
 
}

Regarding your hidden field not working, it's difficult to determine the issue without actually having your full program.  In my case I didn't even change the field name; I just added tp="Hidden" to the field.  Below is what I did for the state field.  Make sure the "nbr" and "nm" match the Infor generated values for those fields.

  fld al="left" blankzero="1" col="42" ed="upper" height="1" id="text11" label="State or Province:" nbr="_f29" nm="VDR-STATE-PROV" par="TF0-0" row="8" sz="2" tp="Hidden"/

Regarding the read only attribute, listboxes don't have that property.  Try lawForm.getElement("_l183").disabled=true; (use your field ID).
