I am trying to capture the value of an associated Lookup field so that I may
then parse it out to something usable in the Contact entity. I have tried
several methods for "crmForm.all.attribute.method" including "returnvalue",
DataValue" and "toString" without much success. They usually yield
"[object]" or "[object, object]".

Anyone have success capturing like this, or have a better way of achieving
the same end?

Thanks! Andy.

Straight from SDK:

var lookupItem = new Array;

// Get the lookup for the primarycontactid attribute on the account form.
lookupItem = crmForm.all.primarycontactid.DataValue;

// If there is data in the field, show it in a series of alerts.
if (lookupItem[0] != null)
{
// Display the text value of the lookup.
alert(lookupItem[0].name);

// Display the entity type name.
alert(lookupItem[0].typename);

// Display the GUID of the lookup.
alert(lookupItem[0].id);

// Display the entity type code of the lookup. A value of 1 equals
account, and a value of 2 equals contact.
alert(lookupItem[0].type);
}

Is that what you're after?

Thank you George! It's spitting out real data, so I assume I can manipulate
that same data to my heart's content

Thanks again, Andy.
