As an alternative solution to my question posted previously I have the following. It works perfectly with numbers, but won't accept alphanumeric input.
What can I do to get it to also accept alphanumeric input?
List Page:
<INPUT id=tagtoadd>
button before:
params["tagtoadd"] = $("#tagtoadd").val();
button server:
global $dal;
for ($i=0; $i<count($keys); $i++)
{
$sql = "Update waybills set Status=".$params["tagtoadd"]." where ID=" . $keys[$i]["ID"];
CustomQuery($sql);
}
$result["txt"] = "Records were updated.";
javascript onload event:
this.on('beforeSave', function(formObj, fieldControlsArr, pageObj){
var val = $("#tagtoadd").val();
formObj.baseParams['tagtoadd'] = val;
});
