Maxxum AJAX Toolkit - strange behavior
Hi all,
I have been playing around with the AJX toolkit for few days now and have been very pleased with it. I think it is a great toolkit.
Today I am facing a strange problem in the code that was working fine thus far.
I have a non-mandatory date field in my custom object. In my code I an querying data from this custom object and the date field is retrieved as part of the query. Today all of a sudden I am getting an exception:
"Invalid Type: You passed a null but the field requires a date".
Now when I remove this field from the query, everything works fine.
Also note that the query (with the date field) was working fine so far.
Is anything changing?

Hi Maxxum,
A little aggressive on the type enforcement. I'll fix this in time to get in the next update. I'll also post the fix here.

Ok, here is the fix. You will need to host the entire set of JS files yourself.
This function needs to be replaced in the domfunc.js file:
_parseVal = function(value, name, desc) { var fldDef = desc.fieldMap[name.toLowerCase()]; if (value == null || value.length == 0) { if (fldDef.type == "date" || fldDef.type == "datetime") { return null; } else { return value; } } var fldType = fldDef.type; if (fldType == "string" || fldType == "picklist" || fldType == "multipicklist" || fldType == "combobox" || fldType == "reference" || fldType == "textarea" || fldType == "phone" || fldType == "id" || fldType == "url" || fldType == "email") { return value; } else if (fldType == "boolean") { if (value.toLowerCase() == "false") { return false; } else { return true; } } else if (fldType == "currency" || fldType == "double" || fldType == "percent") { return parseFloat(value); } else if (fldType == "date" || fldType == "datetime") { return fromIsoDateTime(value); } else { return value; } };
