Function Invoking Another Function

[Miriam Rubin]

Trying to invoke 1 function from another function, using same parameters for each.

Trying to invoke 1 function from another function. MasterFunction has parameterX which is a dictionary Name. When attempting to call ChildFunction from within MasterFunction, and passing it the same parameter that MasterFunction has, got javascript error 'Invalid Object'.
Here is basic scenario:
MasterFunction(dictionaryName)
{
ChildFunction(dictionaryName);
}
Both of these functions are in the JavaScript function list.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

You need to pass the dictionary object, not the dictionary name.  So you would pass in a parameter of "serviceForm.DictName", which is the dictionary object.  Then, if your parameter name was "objDict", you would call methods against it, for example: "objDict.setVisible(false);" and "objDict.FieldName.getValue();"

If, for some reason, you do need or want to pass a string of the dictionary name, you need to use the "eval" method to get the dictionary object back: eval("serviceForm." + dictString + ".FieldName.getValue()");
