Refer to Repeating section field using javascript

+7

I would like to give each row in the repeating section an id. The id is generated with the javascript Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 10)

I want to populate the row id field with the random letters, when a new row is added.

--How to code the new row add event?

--How to refer to the id field in each row? When I used the client id, it always went to the first row.

I didn't find documentation on how to use javascript to handle the fields in the repeating section .

Thanks.

Hi Sean,

I´d suggest giving the control a css class (e.g. myClass).

Then you can access the control using

NWF$(".myClass:last")

As for the event, you can use

NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterRepeaterRowAdded(function(){/*your_stuff*/});

@lcha / @Tarf .....do you really need to use JavaScript to get the row # of a repeating section?

Since you're using the repeating section, you can add a calculated control and name it ctrl_calc_rep_sec_row_no. Always hide this control.

Add another calculated control using your random letters and named control of the above-calculated control to build your string.

you could also use the js as the formula of a calculated value control within the repeating section to achieve the same result:
