DOM: Form name conversion

The document object model consisted of the following naming conventions:

2.x: document.bodyform.EO__Name__STR and document.forms['bodyform'].EO__Name__STR

3.x: document.forms['mainForm'].EO__Name__STR

which must be renamed to for 4.x and 5.x

document.forms['mainForm'].elements

System fields name conversion

Binding to system fields and usage of system fields in Javascript will require edits. For example,

EO__NumberString__STR

must become

enterpriseEntity.idNumber

Also, you must check for changes in field names in the object model. For example the version 2.x field numberString became idNumber in later versions.

Custom fields name conversion

In 2.x custom field names were formatted as: EO__Detail_{category}__{fieldType}_{fieldName}__{paramType}

In 4.x these must be formatted as:

command_categories[category]_customFields[fieldName]_value

So in the example below, custom field name

EO__Detail_OPPS__DetailNumbValue_PlAcOCReserveChange__DBL

will become

command_categories[OPPS]_customFields[PlAcOCReserveChange]_value

Access to elements in a form, in Javascript, must be rewritten like this:

document.bodyform.EO__Name__STR.value

becomes

document.forms['mainForm'].elements['applicationEntity.name'].value

i.e. document.bodyform becomes document.forms['mainForm']

Another example:

document.forms['bodyform'].EO__Detail_LITP_OUTC__DetailTextValue_InvAccrual5__STR.value

becomes

document.forms['mainForm'].elements['command_categories[LITP_OUTC]_customFields[InvAccrual5]_value'].value
