Set field values using query string parameters on Form load in CRM
Hi,
I have got below requirement,
- I need to open a CRM form from my custom ‘.aspx’ page.
- On opening of the form I should populate “name” field with value
After referring MSDN article, I came to know that we can set the field values using “extraqs” query string parameter and it must meet below requirements.
- You must encode the parameters passed in the extraqs parameter. Use encodeURIComponent to encode the parameters.
- The names of the query string arguments must match or include the names of attributes for the entity.
- The value cannot be a script (To prevent script injection)
Below is the sample JScript to open a form and populate “name” field on form load
function openform() {
var encodedString = encodeURIComponent(“new_name=rajeev pentyala”);
window.open(“http://ServerName/OrgName/main.aspx?etc=10014&extraqs=” + encodedString + “&pagetype=entityrecord”);
}
- Here “new_name” is the name of attribute
You get the CRM form as below, when you call the above function
extraqs query parameter
Please refer below useful MSDN articles

How to change CRM form field’s label text and color using Jscript
Hi,
Below is the sample JScript to change the color and text of CRM form field’s label; Place the code in JScript “onload” event
// To change color
if(crmForm.all.new_fieldname != null) {
var field = crmForm.all.new_fieldname_c; //”_c” is the caption (i.e.,Label)

Handling Tab click event in CRM 2011
Hi,
We can fire our own Jscript function on CRM tab click. Below are the steps
How to get ID of Crm Form Tab :-
- Get the ID of the ‘Tab’, using IE browser Developer Tool (i.e., Click F12) (See image above)
Code :-
- Attach “onclick” event handler on page ‘OnLoad’ method
function Form_onload() {
//Attach ‘onclick’ event handler to “Tab”
var linkGeneral = document.getElementById(“tab0Tab”); //’tab0Tab’ is the ID of ‘General tab’
if (linkGeneral) {
linkGeneral.attachEvent(“onclick”, tab_onclick);}
}
Function tab_onclick(){
//This function fires on Tab Click;
//Write your code
}
Hope it helps 🙂
