I have a save event scripted, but I'm getting an error message when I try to
save the form that says "Object Required. File: script.js Line 212"

Here's the section where line 212 occurs - line 212 begins with
"DisplayAccountability.text":

else if (Disp2.text == "")
    {
        DisplayActionItem.text =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:ActionItem2").text
        DisplayAccountability.text =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:Accountability2").text
        DisplayDueDate.text =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:DueDate2").text
        DisplayCompleteDate.text =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:CompleteDate2").text
        DisplayHowComplete.text =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:HowComplete2").text
        DisplayNotes.text =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:Note2").text

What's going on? The rule is designed so that when one "task" is completed,
the next task due is the one to display.

Hi Janie,

Your XPath should start by /my:myFields, not //my:myFields.

I changed all the instances and I'm getting the same error.

Not sure if my previous message got to you. I changed all of the instances,
but I'm getting the same error.

Try 1 line at a time. But I am not sure what you are trying to do here.

To access one node, use:
var node = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:ActionItem2");

Note that you are missing the final ";"

You can use XDocument.UI.Alert(node.text); to check that the node exists and
has a value.

Next you can assign that value to a var:
var temp = node.text;

Hope that it helps.

Frank, is there any way to send an attachment of my code to these replies?
Should there be a semicolon after every var line?
