Javascript

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

Any Javascript function run from a Subform's Object will, therefore reference the custom Javascript code from 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. <source lang="javascript">

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);
   

}

</source>
