Validating User Input In CRM Portals With JavaScript

When we are setting up CRM Portals to allow customers to update their information, open cases, fill out an applications, etc. We want to make sure that we are validating their input before it is committed to CRM.  This way we ensure that our data is clean and meaningful to us and the customer.

CRM Portals already has a lot validation checks built into it. But, on occasion we need to add our own.  To do this we will use JavaScript to run the validation and also to output a message to the user to tell them there is an issue they need to fix.

Before we can do any JavaScript, we need to check and see if we are using JavaScript on an Entity Form or Web Page.  This is because the JavaScript, while similar, will be different.  First, we will go over the JavaScript for Entity Forms.  Then, we will go over the JavaScript for Web Pages.  Finally, we will look at the notification JavaScript.

Entity Form:
 if (window.jQuery) {  
   (function ($) {  
     if (typeof (entityFormClientValidate) != 'undefined') {  
       var originalValidationFunction = entityFormClientValidate;  
       if (originalValidationFunction && typeof (originalValidationFunction) == "function") {  
         entityFormClientValidate = function ()   
          {  
           //DO VALIDATION HERE. RETURN TRUE IF PASSED AND FALSE IF FAIL  
         };  
       }  
     }  
   }(window.jQuery));  
 }  

Web Page:
 if (window.jQuery) {  
   (function ($) {  
     if (typeof (webFormClientValidate) != 'undefined') {  
       var originalValidationFunction = webFormClientValidate;  
       if (originalValidationFunction && typeof (originalValidationFunction) == "function") {  
         webFormClientValidate = function ()  
         {  
          //DO VALIDATION HERE. RETURN TRUE IF PASSED AND FALSE IF FAIL   
         };  
       }  
     }  
   }(window.jQuery));  
 }  

Message JavaScript:
 $('.notifications').append($("<div class='notification alert alert-danger' role='alert'>PUT ERROR MESSAGE TEXT HERE</div>"));

Dynamics Set IFrame URL - D365 v8 vs. D365 v9

While doing client work, I came across a problem with setting an IFrame URL dynamically.  The underlying issue was that the sandbox instance is on v8 of Dynamics 365 and production is on v9 of Dynamics 365.  The reason for this was because this client was setup around the time that Microsoft rolled out v9.  Anyways, JavaScript that I wrote to dynamically set the URL of the IFrame wasn't working in the v9 instance.  This was because of changes that Microsoft made to how IFrames are loaded on the form and also changes to JavaScript. Here is my v8 setup: JavaScript runs OnLoad of contact form.  This works because of how IFrames are loaded in v8.  You can also run it on either a tab change (hide / show) or OnReadyStateComplete event of the IFrame.  Depending on your setup you will need to choose which is best for you.  For me in this case it was the OnLoad event. Here is the JavaScript: function OnLoad() { //Get memberid var value = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attri
