Jumping Around in a Long Form
Hi Everybody,
Hey sometimes you get a long form that requires you to do a lot of scrolling around to get to to the different sections. I use a lot of tricks with views and/or conditionally hidden sections to make things look like they all fit on one page. Nevertheless, there are some of you that just want a big 'ole form, but need some navigation. I asked the question of the true experts and they gave a very simple code sample that shows how to enable that.
function yourcontrolname::OnClick(eventObj)
{
var objfield2= XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:field2");
XDocument.View.SelectText(objField2);
}
It's fairly self explanatory. You assign a variable to a node value and then use the SelectText call to navigate to that node. The original sender of this idea, Scott Heim, also informed me that you modify a button to the point where it looks just like a hyperlink if you so desire. I prefer a button myself but that's not for everyone. Enjoy.
