Can't read last set field value when executing ribbon button RRS feed

    I have this Problem: When i fill the "name" attribute af an account and click directly on a custom button in the Toolbar without clicking elsewhere before, then I'm unable to get the value of the "name" attribute. It just gives me "null".

    alert(Xrm.Page.getAttribute('name').getValue());

    But if I first leave the filed an click somewhere else and afterwards my custom button, then the script above shows me the correct value that I just entered into the "name" attribute.

    It seams that CRM 2013 does not correctly remove the focus from the field when clicking directly on a button.

    Can anyone help me?

    Hi

    Did you check that your information is getting saved before you click on the ribbon button.

    It could be a data saving issue instead of focus.

    Perhaps you need to do Xrm.Page.getAttribute('name').fireOnChange() first?

    in my experience this is browser dependent, ironically Chrome will update but not IE, is this what you see?

    Thanks a lot for all your posts on this topic!

    @CRMDevlpr: I don't want to save the data first. I Need this to run also on a unsaved form.

    @JBlaeske: I also tested that Approach, but it did not help :-(

    @Chris_Cohen: I tested with IE, Chrome and Firefox and have the same Problem on all These Browsers...

    The strange thing is: In CRM 2011 I just had to set the focus to an other control and then it worked. In CRM 2013 this does not work anymore. Any other sugestions?
