Re: XPages - how to get full name of an element in client javascript?

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

getClientID is what you want. Use getClientID("somename") to get the full path and pass into your server-side script. See this post from John Mackey.

Alternatively, you can get the releative path for all controls (computed fields, edit boxes etc) on a given custom control by adding a computed field control to your custom control called elementPath with this code:

return @LeftBack(getClientId("elementPath"), "elementPath")

This will return the relative path to the current custom control, so you can add this to any id in your server-side javascript to get the value.
