HTML Modifiers & QuickEdit

Quickedit reports do not handle general HTML modifiers, as it cannot be predicted what might affect the whole report or the whole page. In particular, if an HTML modifier causes a screen refresh it must not be allowed to exist within a Quickedit report. The following HTML Modifiers are supported as part of the base ExtraView functionality and work as described in the Administration Guide:

  • autoSize(this)
  • formatAsPhoneNum(this)
  • submitChange(this.name)

To provide an alternative mechanism, there is a function within the UserJavaScript.js file that you can use to provide an exit to JavaScript to replace the HTML modifiers. The default is the following, but the function is ignored if it does not exist.

function ucHtmlModifierQuickEdit() {
    return true;
}
