Can you use a "click" or "onclick" handler on SharePoint fields?

rss

Posted by Jdubs - Jan 13 ’15 at 10:47

When I add some code to perform an action for "onclick," nothing happens.

 

In my browser debugger, it says "Object doesn't support property or method 'click'

 

Is there a way to make this work?

 

I'm using --> fd.field('fieldname').click(function() {

//insert code here;

});

    Sure, please, try the code below:

    fd.field('fieldname').control()._el().find('input').click(function(){
	// your code here
});

    [#1]: Thanks Dmitry!  That works perfectly smile

    Any idea why that works and fd.field('fieldname').click(function() doesn't work?

    Only reason I ask is so that I can understand the Forms Designer framework a little better so that I don't have to bug you on questions like these in the future.

     

    Thanks again!

    [#2]: Hi,

    fd.field('fieldname') returns Field object that doesn't contain click method. But you can retrieve jquery-object with the help of control()._el() method and find a particular html-element.

    [#4]: 'fieldname' is an internal name of a SharePoint column.

    'input' is an html-element that is rendered by the field.

    Please, find more info in our documentation:

    When a button is clicked, the on-click event causes a specific functionality to be carried out. This might occur when a user submits a form when you modify certain web page content and other similar events.
