Hi,

I’m trying to create a process in BonitaSoft that on one form load some data from a MySql database using an script on JQuery. I created a HTML Widget with the next code

`

`

It “should” get the form field “dfDispID” value and send it to myUrl.php and set the response into the field dfField2.value (plain text).

But… it doesnt work.

I tried with an alert ($(“#dfDispID”).val()😉 on document load and i get a “undefined”. I cant reach the field from Firefox

Note: My field has set in General \> Options the HTML attribute id=‘dfINFO\_TipoDispositivo’

Any help?

Thanks

Hi,

at first there seems to be a couple of issues with your script.

I had some working examples of what you are trying to achieve. Might help.

Sorry, i modified the script a bit cause it some variables was in spanish and i screwed it up a bit.

I find the solution while i was taking some screenshots to give more info of my problem. Inspecting a bit the code i found that my field is inside a iframe id=“bonitaframe” and i cant reach it directly, need to use iframe.contents() to get it.

`
$("#bonitaframe").contents().find("#dfINFO_TipoDispositivo").val()
` worked like a charm

Thanks!!!
