Impacted Areas 13.0

For existing Report DataPages with Bulk Edit, Grid Edit or Pivot Drilldown features, if your search form or details page contains JavaScript customizations similar to the examples below, please take the following actions to prevent disruption to your deployed applications.

1. If your script contains an onload event (using JavaScript or jQuery), like as shown below:
   

   <script type="text/javascript">
   window.onload = function() {
   // do something
   };
   </script>
   
   Or
   
   <script type="text/javascript">
   $( document ).ready(function(){
   // do something
   });
   </script>

   Replace the onload event with Caspio’s built-in event handler before the Caspio 13.0 release, as shown below:

   <script type="text/javascript">
   document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function (event) {
   // do something  
   });
   </script>

   You can also use event.detail.appKey or event.detail.uniqueSuffix to define the DataPage event for executing specific functions, similar to the example below:

   <script type="text/javascript">
   document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function (event) {
          if (event.detail.appKey == 'MY_DATAPAGE_APPKEY') {
                 //do something 
          } else if (event.detail.appKey == 'MY_WEB_FORM_APPKEY')    {
                 //do something
       }
   });
   </script>

2. Starting in the 13.0 release, all DataPages with AJAX enabled will have new

   wrapper around the rendered content, as shown below:

   <!- new wrapper start –>

   <!- new wrapper end –>

   If your script refers to an element through the DOM structure (traversing the HTML), you should revise it before the Caspio 13.0 release to use the element “ID” or “name” attribute instead.

   Please note it is not recommended to use scripts that traverse the HTML, as the DataPage structure is subject to change as new features are added in the future.

3. If your script/CSS refers to any button object by its “ID” attribute, you should update your code to refer to the “name” attribute. For example, if your JavaScript uses document.getElementById(“SearchID”) to refer to the search button, you should change it to document.getElementsByName(“SearchID”)[0].If you are using jQuery, you can refer to the “name” attribute using: $(“[name=’value’]”). If you are using CSS, you can refer to the “name” attribute using: input[name=”button name”] { }.

   Code referring to buttons IDs will continue to function until the DataPage is edited after the 13.0 release, at which time the DataPage will start using the new version of AJAX. We recommend you review your custom scripts/CSS now and make this change as soon as possible.

4. If your script contains an onsubmit event, like as shown below:
   

   <script type="text/javascript">
   window.onsubmit = function() {
   // do something
   };
   </script>

   Replace the onsubmit event with Caspio’s built-in event handler, as shown below:

   <script type="text/javascript">
   document.addEventListener('BeforeFormSubmit', function (event) {
   // do something
   });
   </script>

   Scripts using onsubmit events will continue to function until the DataPage is edited after the 13.0 release, at which time the DataPage will start using the new version of AJAX. We recommend you review your scripts now and make this change immediately after the release.
