SteveAtGFI How can I query an existing case number in live agent?
I'm attempting to lookup existing case numbers for live agents if a customer provides a case number. I'm doing this in my code, but it doesn't appear to work. Is there something else I have to do? I've placed the code below and bolded the line where I believe this should be working?
<apex:page showHeader="false">
<!-- This script takes the endpoint URL parameter passed from the deployment page and makes
it the action for the form -->
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() { function handlePageLoad() {
var endpointMatcher = new RegExp("[\\?\\&]endpoint=([^&#]*)");
document.getElementById('prechatForm').setAttribute('action',
decodeURIComponent(endpointMatcher.exec(document.location.search)[1]));
} if (window.addEventListener) {
window.addEventListener('load', handlePageLoad, false);
} else { window.attachEvent('onload', handlePageLoad, false);
}})();
</script>

I have the exact same problem as Thomas R. I can't explain why this isn't working, it's following the developer guide for Live Agent exactly. Code below for my Pre-Chat form, I've even hard-coded a Case Id, and it's still not querying anything. Each time I go through this pre-chat form, all it does is pop up a Create New Case page, and asks me to select a Record Type.
The lines in question are bold / italics. Can anyone explain why this doesn't work? What am I missing?
