Hi Janet,
Let me suggest an idea.
tbUserId_onBeforeHtmlOutput(.. event) {
if (update) {
CSpDisplayField df = (CSpDisplayField)event.getSource();
String htmlText = df.getHtmlText();
// Convert the generated html tag from "<INPUT type=TEXT..." to
"<INPUT type=HIDDEN..." so that the field stays as part of the Form but
hidden, and also attach the static text part of it.
df.setHtmlText(CSpUtil.replaceSubstring(htmlText,"=TEXT","=HIDDEN")+df.getValue().stringValue());
}
}
Your Javascript should be happy and so should you.
Regards,
Aby
