Add Selected value from Combo Box to session and retrieve

In my asp.net web application, I load some data to the combo box in the Nav bar.
I want to do when someone selects the value from the combo box need to set this value to the session.
Then again when reloads the page needs to check that session value and if it is not null, set the combo box value to the session value.
So far my code, when the combo box change event it adds the value to the session.
But again loading the page the method that checks whether the session value is null or not returns an error.
I checked the inspect element, their session value is set from the script. But checking that value returns error
On the Layout page, I wrote like
#{
List<SelectListItem> MyBranch = Session["MyBranch"] as List<SelectListItem>;
if (Session["SelectedBranch"].ToString() != null) // Error is : System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'
{
string currentbranch = Session["SelectedBranch"].ToString();
MyBranch.Where(x => x.Value == currentbranch).First().Selected = true;
}
}
This is the combo box
<div class="dropdown">
#Html.DropDownList("MyBranch", MyBranch, new { #class = "form-control js-dropdown js-MyBranch", #Id = "Branch" })
</div>
This is getting the combo box change value and setting it to the session
$(function () {
$('.js-MyBranch').change(function () {
var bId = document.getElementById('Branch').value;
sessionStorage.setItem("SelectedBranch", d);
});
});

Validate fields before allowing a PDF form to be submitted

I'm trying to create a PDF with a submit button that runs a custom JavaScript. The purpose of the code is to determine the value of one of the form fields and then run a math equation to determine if a warning should be displayed to the user or if they should be allowed to submit.
There are 3 scenarios I want to account for when the user clicks the submit button:
If the "CompletedValue" field is greater than or equal to 1,500,000 and the equation returns a value of less than 40. If this is true, the form should generate error message 1.
If the "CompletedValue" field is less than 1,500,000 and the equation returns a value of less than 25. If this is true, the form should generate error message 2.
Scenario 1 & 2 are false. If this is true, the form should generate an email.
To accomplish this I've written the following code, however, it is not working. When I click the Submit button, nothing happens.
var cV = this.getfield("CompletedValue").value;
var nV = cV - this.getfield("PresentValue").value;
var percentage = ( nV / cV ) * 100;
if (cV >= 1500000 && percentage < 40)
{
var error1= app.alert(errorMessage1,0,0,cTitle);
}
else if (cV < 1500000 && percentage < 25)
{
var error2= app.alert(errorMessage2,0,0,cTitle);
}
else
{
this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});
}
Any help on getting this to work would be appreciated.

I resolved this issue simply by changing the case in the first two statements.
The case I used originally was:
var cV = this.getfield("CompletedValue").value;
This was corrected to:
var cV = this.getField("CompletedValue").value;
Note the capital 'F' in the getField.

Salesforce custom button returning 'Unexpected Token ILLEGAL?

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/33.0/connection.js")}
/*Getting the Running User Details*/
var result =
sforce.connection.query(
"SELECT Advisor__c " +
"FROM User " +
"WHERE Id = '{!$User.Id}'"
);
/*Grab the Records returned by executing the above SOQL Query*/
var userDetails = result.getArray("records")[0];
/*Initializing the Contact record for Update*/
var contactToUpdate = new sforce.SObject("Contact");
contactToUpdate.Id = "{!Contact.Id}";
/*If the Running User is an "Advisor" then set the
Contact With and associated fields*/
if(userDetails.Advisor__c === true){
contactToUpdate.Contact_With__c = "{!$User.Id}";
contactToUpdate.Last_Advisor_Touch__c = new Da​te();
}
/*If the Running User isn't an "Advisor" then set the
Contact With 2 and associated fields*/
else{
contactToUpdate.Contact_With_2__c = "{!$User.Id}";
contactToUpdate.Last_Non_Advisor_Touch__c = new Date();
}
var result = sforce.connection.update([contactToUpdate]);
if(result[0].success === true){
location.reload();
}
else{
alert(result[0].errors.message);
}
I added a custom check box field to our user profiles titled "Advisor" The code is suppose to distinguish which field to update based on if a user has this box checked or not. If yes update this field, If not update that field. Instead though it's returning a 'Unexpected Token ILLEGAL. Not sure why.

Seems like you have a special hidden character in following line
contactToUpdate.Last_Advisor_Touch__c = new Da​ te();
in word Date
If you just rewrite it it should work.
Specifically you have the infamous ZERO WIDTH SPACE between Da and te probably comes from this. To eliminate such things you can use this tool or this one

Angular js, on select element i want to POST data to save it in the database then i want to update it with PUT without page reload

I have a table which had a select field in it which I'd like to save into database if it dosnt exist yet through POST data. If it does exist then I'd like to update the already existing row in the database.
This can be found in the tbody in which i have my tablerow with an ng-repeat to display all data from a json.
<td>
<select id="statusSelect{{anime.id}}" ng-model="statusId" ng-options="animeStatus.id as animeStatus.status for animeStatus in animeStatuses"
ng-change='addUserAnime( "<?php echo Yii::app()->user->id; ?>", anime.id, statusId )'>
</select>
</td>
Next this is my code for what im trying to do in the angular controller:
$scope.addUserAnime = function( userId, animeId, statusId, userAnime )
{
if ( userId == '' ) {
//alert user that he/she needs to log in first
} else {
//loop through my json where i saved from which user which anime is saved with which status
for (var i = 0; i < $scope.usersAnime.length; i++) {
//if there is an already existing entry then i want to update it if not then i want to introduce it into DB with POST
if ($scope.usersAnime[i].anime_id == animeId && $scope.usersAnime[i].user_id == userId) {
$scope.userAnime = $.extend({}, $scope.usersAnime[i]);
$scope.userAnime.status_id = statusId;
$scope.userAnime.date_modified = today;
saveUserAnime();
return;
}
}
$scope.userAnime = {
id: 0,
user_id: userId,
anime_id: animeId,
status_id: statusId,
rating: '',
date_modified: today
};
saveUserAnime();
}
};
Problem is that if i POST a new entry it gets saved in the database, but if i dont reload the page and i change the select again giving it a new option it gets POSTed again instead of using PUT for update.In the end i end up with two entries instead of one. I want to introduce it to database on first select and i want to update it if its changed after. Is that possible. I tryed doing it with $dirty using the table as form but thats a nono.
In the saveUserAnime() function its correctly deffined to use POST if its new entry and use PUT if its an existing one. I have another form for which it works. The problem must be in this current function.

Just put that code where you get the object with the animeStatus and put that in a function and call it directly after that. Now you can call that function when your POST is done, so the new data will be loaded.
Otherwise you could also check through SQL, if that value exists in your table, so you don't need your check in angularjs, that would be easier than this one.

Update Salesforce Case information

I have created a button to escalate a case. I am trying to change the record type, the "Owner" and append "Case Escalated" to the "Notes" field.
Code:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/27.0/connection.js")}
var objCase = new sforce.SObject('Case');
objCase.Id = '{!Case.Id}';
objCase.Owner__c = 'Global Salesforce Team';
objCase.RecordTypeId = '012C00000007l5WIAQ';
objCase.Notes__c += 'Case Escalated';
var result = sforce.connection.update([objCase]);
if(result[0].success=='true'){
alert('The Case was Updated Successfully');
location.reload(true);
} else if(result[0].success=='true'){
alert('There was an issue updating the case');
}
However this wipes the "Notes" field and adds in "undefinedCase Escalated" instead of appending the string "Case Escalated" to the end of whatever is in there.
I am new to javascript, please be nice :)

i saw the code and the problem seems to be that you are creating a new instance of the Case to update, so there is nothing on the field Notes, and once you insert the record it overwrites with the only text there, 'Case Escalated', to get this to work you have to do a query to look for the value that was before on the field and then append the value to the notes__c field.
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/27.0/connection.js")}
var result = sforce.connection.query("select Id, Owner__c, RecordTypeId, Notes__c from Case WHERE Id='{!Case.Id}' LIMIT 1");
var records = result.getArray('records');
var objCase = records[0];
objCase.Owner__c = 'Global Salesforce Team';
objCase.RecordTypeId = '012C00000007l5WIAQ';
objCase.Notes__c += 'Case Escalated';
var result = sforce.connection.update([objCase]);
if(result[0].success=='true'){
alert('The Case was Updated Successfully');
location.reload(true);
} else if(result[0].success=='true'){
alert('There was an issue updating the case');
}

Havent tested it and there is some error handling to be done in my code, but it should work.
