Create and Submit HTML Form Suitelet

Below is a sample of how to create a Suitelet HTML Form and handle values submited from a Suitelet HTML Form.

function htmlSuitelet(request, response) { var method = request.getMethod(); var something = ""; if (method == "POST") { something = request.getParameter("something"); nlapiLogExecution("Debug", "Input Value", something); response.write(html); } var html = '<html><body>something: ' + something + '<br/>' +'<form method="post">Input <input type="text" name="something" id="something" value=""/> <input type="submit"/> </form></body></html>'; response.write(html);}

Guidelines and Code Breakdown:

1. Place HTML Code as a String Parameter to response.write() function.
2. HTML Code > Place form field within form tags.

Example:

<form method="post"> … </form>

3. HTML Code > Form Field name attribute, is the field identification name, which is needed retrieving values after the form is posted.

Example:

<input type="text" name="something" id="something" value=""/>

4. After form is submitted (ie. When submit button is clicked and the request.getMethod() == "POST") to retrieve the form field values us the request.getParameter(name) function. Place in the parameter the name attribute in the HTML form field (previously mention in Guideline #2).

Example:

something = request.getParameter("something");<input type="text" name="something" id="something" value=""/>
