JavaScript error during Submit and Close Action of an InfoPath Form

Applies To

• AgilePoint Envision

Symptoms

During an InfoPath Form based process, a user clicks on Submit and Close button of the InfoPath form to submit the form. Before the submission is completed, he/she moves the cursor away to another window. The following error returned even though the InfoPath form is indeed submitted:

'Application.ActiveWindow' is null or not an object
File:script.js
Line:77

Cause

When the cursor is moved away from the current windows, the Application.ActiveWindow.Close called will fail and cause the error.

Resolution

Replace the code Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true) with new code win.Close(true):

STEP 1: Open InfoPath XSN in design mode

STEP 2: InfoPath Main menu->Tools->Microsoft Script Editor

           

function AgilePointSubmitAndClose()
{
var win = Application.ActiveWindow;
if( XDocument.IsNew )
{
  if( CreateInfoPathForm("","","") )
  {
//Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true);
    
win.Close(true);
  }
  return;
}
          ...

          //Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true);
win.Close(true);
      }
       ...

If AgilePointSubmitDiffAndClose(attrName) exists, then do

function AgilePointSubmitDiffAndClose(attrName)
{
var win = Application.ActiveWindow;
   ...
//Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true);

win.Close(true);
}
