Hi gurus!



I have created a pdf form with xml data filling in textfields and dropdownlist.



Using javascript...



var objDataNodes = xfa.datasets.data.form1.subform1.MyData.resolveNodes("Name[*]");



var length = objDataNodes.length;



for (var i=0; i < (length); i++){

this.addItem(objDataNodes.item(i).value);

}



and dataconnection binding



Thanks to the forum examples!



This works great if i render to a pdf form.



But the drop-down list doesnt work if i render to a html form!! :-(

I obtain a javascript error with the xfa.datasets.data is null or not valid object.



Please Help me!!



Thanks in advance.

Does it work if you set your script to run on client and server?

Great! Thanks a lot. Setting to run on client and server works!



But it is strange: i obtain the same error message, but the drop-down list is filled correctly. How can i remove the error message?



"javascript error: 'xfa.datasets.data' is null or is not an object[...]"



One more strange: if i remove the databinding in designer, the drop-down list is filled again but the error message is shown and the first value of the drop-down list is blank.



Thanks in advance.

OK, i solved it!



For other people who want to use html rendered forms:

Set all your initialize scripts with xfa code to run only at server.



Good luck!
