JavaScript displaying word “null” in CRM 2011 fields w/ no value

Question

I am using the following code to remove commas from an integer (whole number) field in CRM 2011:

function Form_onload() { document.getElementById("new_universalid").value =Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_universalid").getValue(); }

The issue is that for any accounts/contacts w/out a value for 'new_universalid', it's displaying the word "null".

My goal is to display a blank field, rather than the word NULL.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Answer 1

The simplest way I can explain it and that is most obvious to understand is as follows, simply check to make sure the value is not null before assigning:

function Form_onload()
{
    var new_uid=Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_universalid").getValue();
    if(new_uid != null){
        document.getElementById("new_universalid").value = new_uid;
    }
}
