With IE Developer Tool, to find the id, we need to do the following
Select developer tools and
then “select element by click” in find menu of dev tool.
And then select the element whose id we want
The id would be within the Li element within the attributes tab, select it
That’s it ..
Hi,
For getting the currency conversion rate we could use the following web service provided by Generic Objects Technologies Ltd.
Check out the web services provided by them
http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/webServices.aspx
To consume their currency converter web service
http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx we could use the following JavaScript code
var xmlHttp;
function SoapCall() {
// creatng the xmlHttp object
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);
// Calling the web service using post and true means asynchronous call
xmlHttp.open(“post”, “http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx”, false);
// Setting the request header to let the web service identify the soap request we would be sending
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “text/xml; charset=utf-8”);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader(“SOAPAction”, “http://www.webserviceX.NET/ConversionRate”);
var soapRequest = “<?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’utf-8′?> ” +
“<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi=’http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance’ xmlns:xsd=’http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema’ xmlns:soap12=’http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope’>” +
” <soap12:Body>” +
” <ConversionRate xmlns=’http://www.webserviceX.NET/’>” +
” <FromCurrency>USD</FromCurrency>” +
” <ToCurrency>INR</ToCurrency>” +
” </ConversionRate>” +
“</soap12:Body>” +
“</soap12:Envelope>”;
xmlHttp.send(soapRequest);
alert(xmlHttp.responseText);
}

Hi,
Most of the time while writing JavaScript in CRM, we end up writing duplicate code i.e.
For e.g. if there are two fields say field1 and field2 and on selection of a particular value in field1, we would like to make field2 mandatory.
Here we would first write the code for that in the onSave event of the field1.
Than again we would have to put the same code in the onload event also to reflect the same condition.
After some time it becomes really difficult to maintain it!
However there is a solution to that, just browsing through stunnware site, got this particular article on reusing Javascript.
Please go through that !!
Reusing code in OnLoad and OnChange event handlers
Just thought of sharing it ….
Hi,
To cancel save event we need to use this line of code
event.returnValue=false;
followed by
return false;

To understand difference between event.returnValue=false and return false, check out this informative article

Hi,
We had created a survey and wanted some message to appear when user clicks on finish button.
Through one of my colleague i came to know about this function — PreSaveAction
function PreSaveAction()
{
alert(“Thanks for the participating in the survey!”);
return true;
}
Placing the above function in the newform.aspx using SharePoint designer did the trick.
We could use the PreSaveAction function for custom validation as well !

Hi,
I was getting the following error “Invalid domain name. Domain name is either invalid or unreachable” while trying to register a plugin.
Found this kb article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948593/EN-US/
So installed update rollup 4.0
After that on trying to open CRM started getting the could not find GUID error.
Not very sure, but it has something to do with ActiveDirectory i guess.
Anyways uninstalled the Rollup 4 and to my surprise everything started working normally, even i was able to register plugin without any issues!!
Just thought of sharing the same !!
