Retrieving content of a custom field on a form	10/31/2022 10:15:13 AM
ASPRunner.NET General questions
D david powell author Hi, There is an example in ASPrunner guide as to how to insert a custom field on a form using <INPUT id=test type=text> on the code view of styles template. The guide then mentions putting code into the onload event but doesnt say what the code is. In PHP $REQUEST("test") apparently retrieves the content. My goal is to get user input into two controls to create a date range, insert values into XSession variables and then use those to run a report, all via tripart event in a custom button on the same form. Cany anyone point me towards some guidance or examples? I am sure what I am doing has been done loads of times before! Many thanks DAvid.

	We'll fix the manual. Here is the code you need to add to the Javascript OnLoad event: `this.on('beforeSave', function(formObj, fieldControlsArr, pageObj){ var val = $("#test").val(); formObj.baseParams['test'] = val; });` And then in the event like BeforeAdd you can use postvalue("test") to access that field value.
