Generically Modifying a Screen via the Standard Layout function
Another generic thing we might do is remove all the "+" prompt fields from the screen and strip the trailing dots from all the field labels.
To do this you could add code like this to the SHARED,ApplyStandardLayout function:
/* Get all elements between lines 3 and 22 */
var aH = HTMLAPI.getElementsinRowRange(3,22);
/* Hide all fields containing "+" signs and strip trailing dots from others */
for (i = 0; i < aH.length; i++ )
{
var oH = aH[i];
if ((oH != null) && (typeof(oH.tagName) != "undefined"))
{
var fIsINPUTField = ((oH.tagName == "INPUT") || (oH.tagName == "TEXTAREA"));
if ( !(fIsINPUTField) ) /* This NOT an input field on the screen */
{
if (oH.innerText == "+") HTMLAPI.hideElement(oH);
else HTMLAPI.stripTrailingDots(oH);
}
}
}
When executed the example 5250 now looks like this:
