    Hi,

    i've got a problem with javascript. See the code below, it's an onload function and will load if the user opens a crm-contact. "new_land" is a dropdown menu.

    function setVisibilitySonstigesLand()
{
var land= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_land").getSelectedOption().text;
if (land == "Sonstige") 
	{
		Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("address1_country").setVisible(true);
		Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("address1_country").setFocus();
	}
}

    The error is "cannot get a value for propertie "text" because the object is null or undefined".

    If i insert an alert("hi"); just before var land = Xrm.Page.getAttr...  it works without any problem.

    Can you tell me how i get it to work without alert("hi"); ?

    Thank you

    Volker

    Hi,
    the correct function to get the text from an optionset is getText(), try with

    function setVisibilitySonstigesLand()
{
var land= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_land").getText();
if (land == "Sonstige") 
	{
		Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("address1_country").setVisible(true);
		Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("address1_country").setFocus();
	}
}
