Can I read the Transition Value with Javascript?

[william_neff_po]

Hello,

Hope this is not a double post.... Last one did not show up....?

I have certain javascript that I want to run during certain transitions. I can do this with the VBSCRIPT but I need to do it with the Javascript?

I want different selection checkboxes to show up on different transitions. Hide fields on certain transitions. I would rather not create different forms for each transition.

Regards,

Will

Will,

I know your aversion to form actions but take a look at this image. You could just put this form action on your form temporarily and then run it and view the source of the page to steal the code the action uses.

Hope it helps

Or even easier. This function returns the current transition name.

GetTransitionInternalName()

The JavaScript global variable "ids_transition_name" contains the transition display name. Personally I'd go with Brian's suggestion. Internal Names are not likely to change.

Thanks for the ideas I will give them a try.

Agreed, Internal Names are the way to go.
