Problem accessing dynamically created table line

[Former Member]

Hi everyone.

I'm unable to solve the following problem:

In an offline scenario I have a table which contains one line at creation time. The form offers a button to add lines to the table using javascript and the instanceManager of the table.

If the added lines are beeing filled by the user I can extract that data without a problem.

But I cannot acces the newly generated fields with java script.

I'm not sure, what the problem is. Here is the code, which should do the job:

xfa.resolveNode("xfa.form.data.Inhalt.CONTACTS.DATA.NAMEV[" + position + "]").rawValue = 'Andreas';

This works fine, for the table line, that exists right from the beginning(position = 0), but not for any added line.

I keep getting this error: xfa.resolveNode("xfa.form.data.Inhalt.CONTACTS.DATA.NAMEV[" + position + "]") has no properties

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any hints,

Andreas.

I think in your case you are getting that message because the new line hasn't been added successfully.

After adding the instance(row) to the table use: xfa.form.recalculate(1);

If it doesn't solve your problem then please let us know the Java script code you wrote to add the new line.

Thanks,

Hi and thanks for your reply.

I had that thought too and tried it out earlier with no success. Also I tried adding lines and filling those in separate scripts with separate buttons. Didn't make any difference.

I am not sure if that will help you in any way, but if you don´t need to access the rows in some special way, you could benefit from the indirect/ relative adressing. If you want to manipulate the row based on the data in that row, why don´t you use "this" pointer and place the script on the subform of the row? I understand that doesn´t help for all cases, but could help in few.

Thank you for your response.

In my case your suggestion does not work I think, because the script is triggered by a drop down list. When the user choses a value, a table row is added and the chosen name should be set to the new line.

Ok then, maybe you could try to use this "addressing" approach, maybe it could help you further:

(i mean how the guys here concatenate the address string)

Solved the problem now and it was fairly easy looking at it now.

I don't know, why the above mentioned adressing does not work, but it works like this:

var tab = xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.form.data.Inhalt.CONTACTS.DATA[*]");

// get the last position

var last = xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.form.data.Inhalt.CONTACTS.DATA[*]").length - 1;

// fill values

tab.item(last).NAME1.rawValue = "Andreas";
