This example shows how to access data in a Microsoft Dynamics CRM form. The following sample reads data from several different types of fields in the default account form and displays them in a message for the user. This script can be tested by adding it to the OnSave event of the Account form.

var accountName;
var parentAccountName;
var relationshipType;

// Get the account name form a text field.
accountName = crmForm.all.name.DataValue;

// Get the parent account name from a lookup field.
var ar = new Array();
if (crmForm.all.parentaccountid.DataValue != null)
{
 ar = crmForm.all.parentaccountid.DataValue;
 parentAccountName = ar[0].name;
}
else
{
 parentAccountName = "No Parent Account"; 
}

// Get the relationship type from a picklist field.
var text = crmForm.all.customertypecode.SelectedText;
if (text.length == 0)
{
 relationshipType = "No relationship type set";
}
else
{
 relationshipType = text;
}
// Display the message.
message = "This account is named "+accountName+". ";
message +="It is the child of "+ parentAccountName;
message +=", and the relationship is "+relationshipType;
alert(message);
