Hello developer community!
I'm new to CRM development, but a friend recently asked me to add some functionality to his CRM installation (through Outlook), and I managed to perform most of the work without much difficulty. In particular, I added checkboxes in the various forms (e.g. Contacts, Accounts...), and it worked beautifully. I built off a community suggestion (http://www.techadv.com/blog/adding-a-multi-select-picklist-to-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011.html) and added some extra functionality. However, he recently updated his CRM/Outlook install to 5.0.9690.3218/5.0.9690.2838, and the checkboxes no longer function as expected. The time-old tradition of line-by-line alert() statements shows that document.createElement() method now throws "There was an error with this field's customized event. Field:window Event:onload Error:undefined". The current statement creates a div element, but I've also tried it with other elements to no avail. Because I'm accessing the forms through outlook, I can't browse the DOM. Because this update focuses on browser comparability, I figured there was a change in the way the DOM is manipulated. Thankfully, with this latest release, I imagine I can also pull up the web forms (which I don't currently have access to, but can gain access to easily) in Firefox and dissect the DOM line by line. I imagine this is probably common knowledge in the community, and that this matter doesn't require such measures. However, if you need more information, I'll begin going through more data shortly and will post as soon as I can.
Thank you very much for your help!
