jquery in custom field description not working.

[dhaval soni]

Is it valid to use jquery script under custom field control descirption.

I've added text input custom field and updated it's descrition as below to fetch one of the text input value.

<script type="text/javascript">
alert(document.getElementById("customfield_10100:input1").value); //works fine
alert(AJS.$("input#customfield_10100:input1").val()); // not worked

alert(AJS.$("#customfield_10100:input1").val()); // tried this also, not worked

</script>

as above, if i use javacsript to fetch the value then i can get correct value in alert but its not giving me 'undefined' when i use jquery AJS.$(....).

any idea ?

AJS.$("#customfield_10100\\:input1").val());

Hi 
want to assign current page in Custom field value am using a text field as custom field in Jira Widget 
please Help 

[dhaval soni]

there is a cascading custom field and in firebug , it shows id value as "customfield_10100:input1"

so, i can get alert for correct value while using javascript document object but not getting while using AJS.$.. not sure, what can be the cause.

Using JIRA - 5.2.11 stand alone

Hi,

You can try this alert(AJS.$("#customfield_10100").val());
