[Vtigercrm-developers] vt7: How to update field from Javascript

[Alan Lord]

Thanks for the follow up.

I've now got it working but it is a big of a "dogs dinner" frankly.

First I need to grab the container (td) for the field or your suggestion 
of using .parents() means I end up updating *every* currency field on 
the page ;-)

> var svcChargeContainerId = '#'+moduleName+'_detailView_fieldValue_svc_charges';
> var svcChargeContainer = jQuery(svcChargeContainerId);

Then, once I've done the calculations I update the value in three places:

> svcChargeContainer.find('span.currencyValue').html(svcCharge);
> svcChargeContainer.find('input[data-name="svc_charges"]').attr('data-displayvalue', svcCharge);
> svcChargeContainer.find('input[data-name="svc_charges"]').data('value', svcCharge); // This one doesn't work...

It would be very helpful, for everyone if there was an API in the main 
Detail and Edit view Javascript classes to support dynamic updating of 
fields.

Now I need to trigger a save event on the Service Charge field and then 
work out how to do the same thing in Edit View.

Then, the next thing I have to do is to try and sort out the picklist 
problems... See thread "Re: Q. on vt7 Detail/Summary view picklists"

Thanks for helping.
