  • 0

I am trying to access the input elements in the dialog box from a jquery script places in the main page(background), but I am unable to do so. This dialog box pops up when I doubleclick on the Billing address field in the main page.

PLease let me know on how to access the form elements in the dialogbox from the main page?

Edited:

Actually when the contact page detail page is loaded, you wouldn’t find a field with the id con19country, but only after you double click the mail address this field becomes available in the DOM. Also the div(id=InlineEditDialog) that holds the fields that becomes visible when double clicked on mailing address is also grayed out in the HTML. Check the image here : https://i.stack.imgur.com/7cdd4.jpg

Edited again:

I was able to access the dialog box finally..

    j$("[id*=_ilecell]").bind('dblclick', function(){
        var elementID = j$(this).attr('id');
        if (!sfdcPage.editMode)
        sfdcPage.activateInlineEditMode();

        if (!sfdcPage.inlineEditData.isCurrentField(sfdcPage.getFieldById(elementID)))
        sfdcPage.inlineEditData.openField(sfdcPage.getFieldById(elementID));
        stateCountryAutocomplete();
    });
});

    You can easily use Firebug (or any other developer tools) in the browser of your choice to learn these.

    In this example BillingStreet can be obtained by $('#acc17street').html()

    firebug example

    But fear not, there are compiled lists of known standard field Ids. Scroll a bit for example here: http://phollaio.tumblr.com/post/22058016777/how-to-obtain-a-field-id and consider leaving a nice comment for this guy so it doesn’t look like I stole his hard work in this question giving nothing in return 😉

    EDIT 🙂 What exacly are you after? Do you want to capture the content of this box? Or address details in general? Or do something after OK is clicked? I think you’d have to inspect functions visible when you hover over the address field.

    <td 
onmouseover="if (window.sfdcPage && window.sfdcPage.hasRun) sfdcPage.mouseOverField(event, this);" 
onmouseout="if (window.sfdcPage && window.sfdcPage.hasRun) sfdcPage.mouseOutField(event, this);" 
onfocus="if (window.sfdcPage && window.sfdcPage.hasRun) sfdcPage.mouseOverField(event, this);" 
ondblclick="if (window.sfdcPage && window.sfdcPage.hasRun) sfdcPage.dblClickField(event, this);" 
onclick="if (window.sfdcPage && window.sfdcPage.hasRun) sfdcPage.clickField(event, this);" 
onblur="if (window.sfdcPage && window.sfdcPage.hasRun) sfdcPage.mouseOutField(event, this);" id="con19_ilecell"
class="dataCol col02 inlineEditWrite">
    <div id="con19_ileinner">2335 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1500<br>Chicago, IL 60601, USA<br> </div>
</td>

    Try to find definition of this sfdcPage and if you can override some of the functions with “whatever they were doing originally + your behavior”? It’s an object constructed from prototype called DetailPage and you can find the definition in /jslibrary/(some timestamp)/sfdc/main.js
