Script issue on master page

[Jono_Moore]

So, I've got my little unique number generation script that I've posted on here before...it's on the Initialize event of the field.

if (this.rawValue == null) {
    var d = new Date();
    this.rawValue = parseInt(d / 1000);
}
else {
    this.rawValue = rawValue;
}

Which works fine if on the body of the form, but if I put it on the Master page it re-initializes (and changes the number) every time a subform gets shown/hidden. Any idea how to stop it from doing this? I've tried it on some other events without any luck.

I ran into another problem with this script, a field called "Date" was interfering with the script - throwing a "Date is not a constructor" error. Is this normal (function/field collision)?

Hi Jono,

I have had issues scripting within the Master pages before. What I have done in the past is script a hidden textfield in the main pages with global binding (which has featured a lot here today); then same name textfield in Master page picks it up.

Good luck,

N.

Ah, good workaround, thanks!
