Javascript in web - Values isn't stored

Posted on by Dannow

Hi,

I'm trying to change most of my data entry flow to Javascript, in order to make it faster, without any JS knowledge, quite smart..

I'm using this script, which does insert values into the fields on website as it's suppose to, but the values aren't stored, meaning that if I try to go to the field and tab away, the value disappears?

function ExecuteScript() {
document.querySelectorAll('input[Id="identifier"]')[0].value="12345678";
document.querySelectorAll('input[Id="data-field-33"]')[0].value="Navn";
document.querySelectorAll('input[Id="type"]')[0].value="Trade identification number";
document.querySelectorAll('input[Id="data-field-30"]')[0].value="DK - Denmark";
}

Am I missing some kind of storing function? Thanks.

Assuming identifier is the id of the textbox try this

document.getElementById('identifier').value="12345678";

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately it's the same result. It inserts the value but once entering the field and tabbing away or performing an action like save, it removes the value from the field.
Not sure if it can be the website, that doesn't allow the action to perform, if that's even possible?
This is a snip of the inspect function from the field
I also tried the following code with no luck.
function ExecuteScript() { var element = document.getElementById('identifier'); element.value = '55886699'; }

1. hope you are using "run javascript on webpage" and not just javascript

2. have you tried the conventional method of capturing the Ui element of that text box and then using populate textbox action to write data into it

Yes I am using the Run Javascript on Webpage.
I have captured the UI elements and I am able to use them with a regular "Populate text field" module, which it stores on the webpage as it should.

I wanted to optimize the time it took, by creating a JS load. If I create a populate textfield for each ID, then it works. Except for the dropdowns, but that can come in another thread 🙂

Try doing a Sendkeys TAB or ENTER after running the js.
