Hi there,

i am doing some validation on client side and its only getting a value from a field when its not read only and not hidden.

How do I get the value from a hidden field on a XPage client side?

Here is the method I am using :

var status = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:status}”);

var update = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:updatetxt}”);

var oldstat = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:oldstat}”);

if(status.value !== oldstat.value && update.value == “”);

{

alert("Please enter an update justifying the status change.");

alert(oldstat.value + " " + status.value);

return false;

}

The field oldstat is the one that is hidden.

Thanks for any help.
