Button to copy all fields

Question

HI,
I would like to create a button on a form...when the user clicks this button, all of the field values are copied and pasted into a big text field on the form.
Doesn't have to be pretty, I just want all the data from many fields dumped into one field.
Many thanks,
Joe

Answer 1

If an xml format is fine with all field and values then on the button click can assign the xml to a field(field name is: completeData).
var formDataStr = xfa.datasets.data.saveXML("pretty");
  completeData.rawValue = formDataStr;
If need ONLY fieldname and/or values can go by script function and get the values of each n every field on the form.
call "traverse" function on click of the button and pass "oParentNode" as the rootname of the form.
function traverse(oParentNode)
          var allChildElements;
          var intNumElements;
          var currentElement;
          var i;
          var j;
          // Get all occurances of the parent element
          intNumOccurances = oParentNode.all.length;
          for (i=0; i < intNumOccurances; i++)
                    oCurrentParent = oParentNode.all.item(i);
                     // Get all the child nodes of the parent element
                    allChildElements = oCurrentParent.nodes;
                    // Total number of elements in the object
                    intNumElements = allChildElements.length;
                    // Loop through all the child elements
                    for (j=0; j < intNumElements; j++)
                              currentElement = allChildElements.item(j);
                              // If the element is another subform we'll recursively call the function again
                              if (allChildElements.item(j).className == "subform")
                                        traverse(currentElement);
                                        // If the objects are fields or exclusive groups then we'll encode them
                              } else {
                                        if (currentElement.className == "field" || currentElement.className == "exclGroup")
                                                  //Here have the access for both field and value
                                  //your code comes here
                                                  fields += currentElement.name + "\t";
                                                  values += currentElement.rawValue + "\t";
}          // end traverse function
Hope this will help.
