JavaScript

Each Form can contain custom JavaScript code - except Subform Forms.

Any JavaScript function run from a Subform's Object will use the custom JavaScript code in its main Edit Form.

Each of the yellow diamonds containing JS is added before it's Form is displayed and can do 2 things.

1. Run JavaScript as the Form is loaded.
2. Create functions that can be used once the Form is loaded.

eg.

   if(nuFormType() == 'edit'){
       nuAddActionButton('nuRunPHPHidden', 'Run', 'nuRunPHP("UDSTK")');            //-- run as the Form is loaded
   }
    
   
   function copyToDelivery(){                                                      //-- custom function that will be run on an Object JavaScript event
   
       var s   = $('#inv_street_address').val();
   
       $('#inv_delivery_address').val(s).change();
   
   }
