$eb.getField

[HarryDeBoer]

Hi

I followed the alert($eb.getField(“NAME”).displayValue) example from the docs. Created a field, a button and a button onclick jquery event. It works except that the value that is edited in the field (edit value - TABkey - click button) shown in the alert message is the last but one fieldvalue not the edited (new) value.

Harry,

As explained in separate email, this is a call from the client to the server so the response is going to be the value of the field on the server. If the user has typed something into the field but not yet submitted it to the server, you won't see this value. It's very easy to get confused between client and server values when you have Javascript executing on both and calls going in between. If you need to submit the current form to the server before invoking something on the client API, it's best to use the executefunction() method and request the "full submit" option.
