Display date DynamicField with jquery - RESOLVED

[kruegerM]

One of our ticket types permits scheduling request of resources. Because users have a tendancy to just check the box for the date and not actually change the date - I've been asked to display a verification message after they submit the ticket. The verification message is to have the resource name and date requested.

I have no problem displaying $('#DynamicField_ResourceName').val() -- but dynamic field Dates are in the value_date column of the table, not value_text - and displaying $('#DynamicField_ResourceDate').val() results in undefined. Is there a way with jquery (or other scripting??) to get that information?

Thanks much!

What does view source say?

[kruegerM]

I have no "view source" as this is just an "alert'" window at this point....
How this is setup:

1) i added an 'onclick' to the create button:

<button class="Primary" id="submitRichText" accesskey="g" title="$Text{"Create"} (g)" type="submit" value="$Text{"Create"}" onclick=”doVerify();”>$Text{"Create"}</button>

2) I then setup the alert:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
function doVerify()
{
verStrg = “Resource requested: “ + $(‘#DynamicField_Resource’).val() + “ for the date: “ + $(‘#DynamicField_ResourceDate’).val());
alert(verStrg);
}
</script>

DynamicField_ResourceDate is a 'Date' style ticket dynamic field

My hope was to test the coding before I went all out for an 'OK' 'Cancel' message window.......

I meant to say, if you view source/inspect element on the rendered date field, you should be able to know what to use in jquery.

Thank you - don't know why I didn't look there ... but anyway that told me what I needed - thanks!!

It's the "breakdown" fields:

Example - for field: DynamicField_SubmitDate
you have

DynamicField_SubmitDateUsed (this is the checkbox - just here for reference)
DynamicField_SubmitDateMonth
DynamicField_SubmitDateDay
DynamicField_SubmitDateYear
DynamicField_SubmitDateHour
DynamicField_SubmitDateMinute
