Hi Fredrik,

 

if your field has a data binding, your values will not get lost, if you refresh the input element or an element containing the input element.

 

Sven

 

 But it gets lost. 

 

Perhaps the code that sets the field is wrong? 

 

var f=XSP.getElementById("#{id:TimeField}");

if(f.value==""){

var d=new Date()

var h=d.getHours();

if(new String(h).length==1){

h="0"+new String(h)

}

f.value=h+".00"

} 

 

If I set the value on another field type it works but not date or time fields. 

I am a little bit confused... You want to add "12.00" to a date/time field? Normally you would fill in a field with a time value separated with a colon. I think this is a syntax problem, and Domino is unable to interpret the give value as a date/time.

 

Is client side field validation enabled, or is a handler for error messages defined?

 

 I have validation on this field. I'm confused also.

 

I have looked at what is appening when a field is set using the picker  

 

then the following attribute is set 

aria-valuenow="Thu Jan 01 1970 07:45:00 GMT+0100" 

 

but what I can see using Firefox and firebug the value is not set but the value is showing. 

 

I have tried to set this attribute and the value but no luck. 

the value is still lost when refresh is done. 

Is disableClientSideValidation="true"? If so, please set to "false" and retry.

 

 It was blank but I tried to setting it to false but no change.

 

If I write some time in the field the refesh works and the time is still there. 

But If I set the value the value is lost when the refresh is done. 

Can you please post the code of your field?

This is the source for that field nothing special 

 

 <xp:inputText

  id="TimeField"

  value="#{doc.TimeField}"

  styleClass="dateField"

  disableClientSideValidation="false">

  <xp:dateTimeHelper></xp:dateTimeHelper>

  <xp:this.converter>

  <xp:convertDateTime

  type="time"

  timeStyle="short">

  </xp:convertDateTime>

  </xp:this.converter>

 

  <xp:eventHandler

  event="onclick"

  submit="false">

  <xp:this.script><![CDATA[var f=XSP.getElementById("#{id:TimeField}");

if(f.value==""){

var d=new Date()

var h=d.getHours();

if(new String(h).length==1){

h="0"+new String(h)

}

f.value=h+".00"

} ]]></xp:this.script>

  </xp:eventHandler></xp:inputText>

 

and then I have a button that sets a scoped variable

 

<xp:button id="button3" styleClass="buttons">

  <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:var Status=viewScope.Status;

if(Status=="Planerad"){

return "Omplanera"

} else {

return "Planera"

}}]]></xp:this.value>

  <xp:eventHandler

  event="onclick"

  submit="true"

  refreshMode="complete">

  <xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:viewScope.Status="Planerad"

}]]></xp:this.action>

  <xp:this.script><![CDATA[var status=document.getElementById("status");

if(status){

status.value="Planerad"

}]]></xp:this.script>

   </xp:eventHandler></xp:button> 

Hi again,

 

this is a very interesting problem. Here is my solution:

 

1. Change your "f.value" from dotted to a colon separated value

f.value=h+":00"

 

2. Fill the "aria-valuenow"-attribute with a dummy value like this:
dojo.attr("#{id:TimeField}", "aria-valuenow", "Thu Jan 01 1970 00:00:00 GMT+0000");

 

The value is stored with todays date in the backend document.

 I have tried what you are suggesting but If I load the page click inside the field and then directly clicks the button 

the time is lost. but If I move inside the field with the arrow keys. and then click the button then it works. 

 

This is really strange. 

 

I'm using 8.5.2 FP1 on the server 

 The partial refresh is done later if the user changes a status and It's then 

the value is lost. 

 I'll try that. Or I will skip the idea.

And make the user manually mark the time they want. 

 

Thanks for the help

Hi Frantisek,

 

this doesn't work, it is not a valid date/time value.
