SOLVED: Link from button element generated from another element, not working in detail view

[abel408]

Hello all,

I've followed the example in this guide, http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/button-element/ , to create a button link that is generated from a field element. The button works great in form view, but does not work in detail view. It is displayed, but clicking on it does nothing. I am getting the following javascript error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined

This issue appears on the admin backend as well so I know it's not a template issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've concluded that the problem has to do with the following line:

var url = Fabrik.getBlock('form_1').formElements.get('jobs___recruiter_link').getValue();

The element I am trying to retrieve is just a text field. it is form number 1, so I assume that I use form_1 as the value for Fabrik.getBlock? Why does the button work on the form view, but not the detail view?

Thanks

Instead of using variable 'form_1', I needed to use variable 'details_1'. So my JS looked like this:

var url = Fabrik.getBlock('details_1').formElements.get('jobs___recruiter_link').getValue();
window.open(url);

Very little documentation on this. Found it on the following page: http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/form-javascript/
