Generically Modifying a Screen via the Standard Layout function

Another generic thing we might do is remove all the "+" prompt fields from the screen and strip the trailing dots from all the field labels.

To do this you could add code like this to the SHARED,ApplyStandardLayout function:

/* Get all elements between lines 3 and 22 */

var aH = HTMLAPI.getElementsinRowRange(3,22);

/* Hide all fields containing "+" signs and strip trailing dots from others */ 


for (i = 0; i < aH.length; i++ )

{

    var oH = aH[i];

    if ((oH != null) && (typeof(oH.tagName) != "undefined"))
    {
       var fIsINPUTField = ((oH.tagName == "INPUT") || (oH.tagName == "TEXTAREA"));

               if ( !(fIsINPUTField) ) /* This NOT an input field on the screen */
       {
          if (oH.innerText == "+") HTMLAPI.hideElement(oH);
          else                     HTMLAPI.stripTrailingDots(oH);
       }  
    }
  }

When executed the example 5250 now looks like this:
