Reading values into the CRM form from an IFRAME

Hi,

I had recently blogged on the CRM Team Blog about Passing CRM Form values to an IFrame.
This post provides a simple code snippet to do the reverse – read a value from an IFRAME into the CRM form. Let’s say the target page of the IFRAME is an HTML page containing a text field and I want to populate a field on the CRM form with the value in this text field.

My customized CRM form looks like this:

Customized CRM Form with IFRAME

I want to read Sample Value which is in IFRAME_Custom and populate this value into the custom attribute Temp val on save of the CRM form. I place the following code snippet in the CRM form’s onSave event:

crmForm.all.new_tempval.DataValue = crmForm.all.IFRAME_custom.contentWindow.document.all.inputval1.value;

Replace with your field names, Save, Publish and that’s it!

HTH,
Nithya
