HTML form is not running a (withSuccessHandler)function












2















I have this HTML form in Google App Script(Sheets) that asks a user for a date value and then to submit the value. The HTML form runs. the only problem is the obj doesn't log. I can't figure out why this is.



The HTML:



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
</head>
<body>
<form id="myForm">

<input type="date" name="startDate" value="" id="demo" >
<input type="button" style="font-family: verdana;" value="Submit" onclick="getStartDate()">

</form>
<script>
function success(msg) {
alert(msg);
}

function getStartDate(){
var form = document.getElementById("myForm").elements;
var obj ={};
for(var i = 0 ; i < form.length ; i++){
var item = form.item(i);
obj[item.name] = item.value;
}
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(success)
.getStartDate(obj);

google.script.host.close();
};
</script>
</body>
</html>


The Javascript:



function getStartDate(obj){
Logger.log(obj)
}


This should output the object but it doesn't.



Thanks for your help!

          How about this modification?



          Modification points:





          • google.script.run works by the asynchronous processing. So in your script, getStartDate() and success() are not run due to google.script.host.close().


          • getStartDate() at GAS side doesn't return values. So alert(msg) shows undefined.


          When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.



          Modified script:



          HTML:

          Please modify Javascript as follows.



          function success(msg) {
          alert(JSON.stringify(msg)); // Modified
          }

          function getStartDate(){

          Note:




          • If you want to give the key to Submit, please add name to <input type="button" style="font-family: verdana;" value="Submit" onclick="getStartDate()">.
