Many times while working in Dynamics 365 CRM we found small clues tips which sometimes becomes life saver for us. Today in this blog I will share one of such small tip.<\/p>\n

If we enter special characters like # $ % & ( \u2018 <\/strong>in text input the GetControl & Getattribute will give different result.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

Xrm.Page.getControl(ikl_folderpath).getValue() returns \/folderpath<\/strong><\/p>\n

Xrm.Page.getAttribute(ikl_folderpath).getValue() returns \/folderpath#<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both the above statements return different results.<\/p>\n

GetControl(<\/strong>) method replaces the special characters # $ % \u00a0& ( \u2018 \u00a0<\/strong>to blank if it is placed at the end whereas GetAttribute()<\/strong> method doesn\u2019t remove any special characters from the end and displays it as it is.<\/p>\n

Hope this helps!<\/p>\n
