Issues with the CRM Multiple Forms


The multiple forms inside of CRM 2011 are only for different roles.
It is not designed to handle switching between forms based on entity attributes.

When doing this we will encounter issues and will need JavaScript to switch the user to the right form type. This will also cause the user to load the form twice each time (kind of ugly)
The user can switch between multiple forms using a drop-down menu.  CRM will automatically remember which form the user last selected and show them the same form the next time they open a record.
So user has to select the form type they need.

Fixed for CRM 2011 Ribbon bar Missing after applying update Rollup 14 in IE not the chrome or Firefox

I got following the error Saying


SCRIPT5: Access is denied.
PageLoader.js, line 1 character 1226

After Long two days investigation I have found out the reason for the issue.
We had previous rollup activity feed solution.

After importing the new version of Activity feeds this hectic issue was sorted out.

Activity feed new solution is available with rollup up package.

It can be found by exacting the rollup package.


Previously this was available in Microsoft Dynamic market place.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Custom Code Validation Tool

Consider familiarizing yourselves with this tool… though the download page mentions Update Rollup 9, it hasn’t had much utility until now since the UR9 changes mentioned in the summary below were never released until UR12:


Use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Custom Code Validation Tool to identify potential issues with custom JavaScript in JavaScript libraries and HTML web resources. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Q2 2012 Service Update and Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 9 include significant changes in the web application in order to be able to support a variety of browsers such as Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. When using JavaScript code in Dynamics CRM, it is possible that some code will stop working or cause an error when you upgrade. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Custom Code Validation Tool helps identify potential problems so that a developer can fix them.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Custom Code Validation Tool Setup

These are some fixes I have done.

Earlier version

With Roll-up 12


var xmlHttpRequest = new
ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");


var xmlHttpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();


event.returnValue = false;


context.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

IsDirty();

Xrm.Page.data.entity.gsetIsDirty();



crmForm.FormType


Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType()


crmForm.ObjectTypeName


Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName()


The XMLHttpRequest is being created using ActiveX, which is only supported by Internet Explorer.
Simply changing the affected code to the below has fixed the issue and it now works across all browsers.

var xmlHttpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttpRequest.open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);

Note: The change on the second line may not be obvious, but .open has been changed to use a lower case O
This is for Cross Browser Remove these two lines: There is no issue with IE

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

XMLHttpRequest isn't allowed to set these headers, they are being set automatically by the browser. The reason is that by manipulating these headers you might be able to trick the server into accepting a second request through the same connection, one that wouldn't go through the usual security checks - that would be a security vulnerability in the browser.

subgrid.control


subgrid.control.setParameter("fetchXml", fetchXml); is changed to 
subgrid.control.SetParameter("fetchXml", fetchXml);


same like

subgrid.control.refresh(); to
subgrid.control.Refresh();

All function of subgrid.control will start with capital character

As the name suggests this DOM function is used to access an element of the page and it is used very often by most web developers. However, because the Xrm.Page object model provides the supported way to access form elements, any use of the getElementById function should be examined carefully.
It is fine to use getElementById to access elements in HTML web resources. But if this method is used to access Microsoft CRM application elements, there is no guarantee that the Id attribute value will be the same. When it changes, code that depends on this method to access the Microsoft CRM application elements will be broken. The way to avoid this is to use the Xrm.Page API.
