Forms Version 9

asked on January 22, 2014

I am working on asp.net application and have some server side code. I want to call that code when user hits submit in LF form. I have LF form in the foreground. Is there a way to put server side code in script section of the form? Also how do I debug the code if I put it in the script section?

All of the code on the Script page (in Forms 9.0, called CSS and JavaScript in 9.1) runs client-side. You cannot run server-side code from this page.

As for debugging this code, each of the popular internet browsers has its own JavaScript debugger. Firefox, for example, uses the Firebug plugin.

We will consider adding the ability to run server-side code in the future especially if there is a high demand for it but right now the functionality doesn't exist.

Has there been any push to add server side code to Forms since this post was made?

I believe when this post was created we didn't have the ability for Workflow to send information back to Forms and start processes. With the addition of that functionality we felt that Workflow could perform the server side code necessary for most processes and set variables with the appropriate values from the calculations performed. In the future we will continue to make Workflow and Forms more tightly coupled so you can design your process within one application.
