Hi All

We already know very well reagarding "getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle" function in SharePoint which is very useful to set and get the value of TextBox, DataField, Dropdown and many more to set and get the values from control. But what about if your list contains BDC Column value. How to set  and get the value from BDC Column?

Here is the jascript to achieve set and get the BDC column Value.

<script type='text/javascript'>
//set default value
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("loadandhideBDC");
function loadandhideBDC()
{
setDefault();
}

//To check it contains value before saving
 function PreSaveAction() {
var elem = getBDCTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("TEXTAREA","Object Picker", 1);
if(elem.value =="")
{
 alert( "Invalid Value");
 return false;
}
}

function getBDCTagFromIdentifierAndTitle(tagName, title, count) {
var tags = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
var myCount = 0;
for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++) {
var tempString = tags[i].id;
if (tags[i].title == title){
myCount++;
if(count == myCount){
return tags[i];
}
}
}
return null;
}


function setDefault() {
var variety = "";
var elem = getBDCTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("TEXTAREA","Object Picker", 1);
if(elem) elem.value = variety;
var elem = getBDCTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("DIV","Object Picker", 1);
if(elem) elem.innerText = variety;
}
</script>

Jquery Redirect After save an item from NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx

Hello all

I came across to an situation where user needs to redirect to a "Thank You" or lets say different page when they save item fron "NewForm.aspx" or "EditForm.aspx".

As I do not want to use Visual Studio code that ater save item Event Receiver - "ItemAdded" I tried to look around is there any other option available like Jquery , and yes we can , so easy :)

Here is the code for that.

$(document).ready(function() {

        var button = $("input[id$=SaveItem]"); 
// change redirection behavior 
button.removeAttr("onclick"); 
 button.click(function() { 
             var elementName = $(this).attr("name"); 
             var aspForm = $("form[name=aspnetForm]"); 
             var oldPostbackUrl = aspForm.get(0).action; 
             var currentSourceValue = GetUrlKeyValue("Source", true, oldPostbackUrl); 
             var newPostbackUrl = oldPostbackUrl.replace(currentSourceValue, "custompageurl.aspx"); 
   
             if (!PreSaveItem()) return false; 
             WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions(elementName, "", true, "", newPostbackUrl, false, true)); 
         }); 
});

Enjoy Jquery!
