Get and Set Field Values from the Browser

A Field's Client Acccessibility property determines its level of access to the Client-Server API and therefore the browser:

• Inaccessible the Field cannot be accessed by the browser.
• Read the Field can be read by the browser but not updated.
• Read/Write the browser has full access to the Field.

The Client Accessibility property does not affect the Verj.io Runtime Environment's ability to manipulate the field.

You can read a Field value from the browser by using $eb.getFieldValue("myField"), this returns the value of the Field in the appropriate format for the Field's type.

You can modify the value of a Field from the client by using $eb.setFieldValue("myField", 1).

You can also pass additional parameters to this function:

• autorefresh instructs the AJAX mechanism to refresh the page with any resultant changes.
• failureCallback a function that will be called if the field cannot be found or written to.
