Is there another way to get the doc object other than event.target

[Former Community Member]

I have a situation where event.target is returning undefined.

I have JavaScript in the preSubmit event that was not firing when clicking the Save button in Workspace. I tracked down that this button through the Form Bridge calls saveXML. The code I need run alters the XML so I still need it run before saving. I added a call to execute the preSubmit event prior to the saveXML line. My code failed as I found out because when using event.target in the preSubmit event, it is undefined when called from teh Form Bridge code.

I noticed the form bridge code itself used event.target. I am gathering from the comments that the event object is changed by this code so the target child is no longer there. I created a variable at the top and set it to event.target before where I believe was going to be changed. I then used that variable and it solved my problem.
