I have a form with only single field (DropDown) and assigned a function to execute on it’s change.
But it’s not working.
<select type="text" class="form-control" id="searchtext" onchange="handleFormSubmit(this)" name="searchtext" placeholder="Search Text">
What went wrong
here is the WebApp URL
Code.gs file
function doGet() {
return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('Index').evaluate()
.setXFrameOptionsMode(HtmlService.XFrameOptionsMode.ALLOWALL);
}
/* PROCESS FORM */
function processForm(formObject){
var result = "";
if(formObject.searchtext){//Execute if form passes search text
result = search(formObject.searchtext);
}
return result;
}
//SEARCH FOR MATCHED CONTENTS
function search(searchtext){
var spreadsheetId = '1fVBNWvZkFMOfnlt8r6fevt-ozTPweiR5oXot1GU4g2A'; //** CHANGE !!!
var dataRage = 'Data!A2:D'; //** CHANGE !!!
var data = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get(spreadsheetId, dataRage).values;
var ar = [];
data.forEach(function(f) {
if (~f.indexOf(searchtext)) {
ar.push(f);
}
});
return ar;
}

>Solution :
Modification points:
- In your script, I’m worried that
formObjectmight not be able to be parsed withgoogle.script.run. - You might want to run
document.getElementById("search-form").reset()afterprocessFormwas finished.
When these points are reflected in your showing script, how about the following modification?
From:
function handleFormSubmit(formObject) {
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(createTable).processForm(formObject);
document.getElementById("search-form").reset();
}
To:
function handleFormSubmit(formObject) {
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(e => {
createTable(e);
document.getElementById("search-form").reset();
}).processForm({searchtext: formObject.value});
}
Note:
-
When you modified the Google Apps Script, please modify the deployment as a new version. By this, the modified script is reflected in Web Apps. Please be careful about this.
-
You can see the detail of this in the report "Redeploying Web Apps without Changing URL of Web Apps for new IDE".
