How to get the value of a html select form in Google App Script?

I have a HTML form in Google App Script



HTML:



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
</head>
<body onload="myFunction()">

<form id="myForm" >
<select id="mySelection" name="establishment" style="width:300px">
</select>
<br>
<input type="button" class="button" value="Submit" name="button" onclick="getEstValues()">
</form>
<br>

<script>
//Redundant success function:
function success(msg) {
};
//Triggered onload gets parameter as callback function from opOpen.gs updateEstselect().
function myFunction(array) {
//Loops through the array of est.
for(var i = 0 ;i < array.length; i++){
//Create an element.
var element = document.createElement("option");
//Insert Test into the element tags created above.
var textnode = document.createTextNode(array[i]);
//Append the text node to the element tags.
element.appendChild(textnode);
//appends the <option> to <select> as a child.
document.getElementById("mySelection").appendChild(element);
};
};


//Triggers the above function onload then uses the value returned from updateEstSelect as a callback param for myFunction()
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(myFunction)
.updateEstSelect();


function getEstValues(){
//Gets the form
var form = document.getElementById("myForm").elements;
//Creates an object with the form names and values.
var obj ={};
for(var i = 0 ; i < form.length ; i++){
var item = form.item(i);
obj[item.name] = item.value;
}
//Triggers GAS side getEstValues(obj) function.
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(function(e) {
success(e);
google.script.host.close();
})
.getEstValues(obj);
//Closes HTML box.
google.script.host.close();
};
</script>
</body>
</html>


JS:



function getEstValues(obj){
Logger.log(obj);
return obj;
}


The HTML box loads perfectly when requested but when I check the log, there's nothing to view. When I click on the submit button onclick="getEstValues()" runs this getEstValues() which then gets the form with myForm , then iterates through the array, creates an object using name as the key and value as the value which then runs .getEstValues(obj); with success handler then closes the HTML box with google.script.host.close();



The problem:



It doesn't log but when I click submit the HTML box closes.

          • When you clicked the submit button, you want to see the log at Logger.log(obj) of getEstValues(obj).


          If my understanding is correct, how about this modification?



          Modification points:




          • When there is google.script.host.close() of the bottom in the function getEstValues(), google.script.host.close()'' is run before the work ofgoogle.script.runis finished completely. Becausegoogle.script.run`` works by the asynchronous processing.

          • I thought that google.script.host.close() of the bottom might be not required because google.script.host.close() in withSuccessHandler is run.


          Modified script



          Please modify getEstValues() in HTML.



          function getEstValues(){
          //Gets the form
          var form = document.getElementById("myForm").elements;
          //Creates an object with the form names and values.
          var obj = {};
          for (var i = 0 ; i < form.length ; i++) {
          var item = form.item(i);
          obj[item.name] = item.value;
          }
          //Triggers GAS side getEstValues(obj) function.

          • When you clicked the submit button, you want to see the log at Logger.log(obj) of getEstValues(obj).


          If my understanding is correct, how about this modification?



          Modification points:




          • When there is google.script.host.close() of the bottom in the function getEstValues(), google.script.host.close()'' is run before the work ofgoogle.script.runis finished completely. Becausegoogle.script.run`` works by the asynchronous processing.

          • I thought that google.script.host.close() of the bottom might be not required because google.script.host.close() in withSuccessHandler is run.


          Modified script



          Please modify getEstValues() in HTML.



          function getEstValues(){
          //Gets the form
          var form = document.getElementById("myForm").elements;
          //Creates an object with the form names and values.
          var obj = {};
          for (var i = 0 ; i < form.length ; i++) {
          var item = form.item(i);
          obj[item.name] = item.value;
          }
          //Triggers GAS side getEstValues(obj) function.
          google.script.run
          .withSuccessHandler(function(e) {
          success(e);
          google.script.host.close();
          })
          .getEstValues(obj);
          //Closes HTML box.
          // google.script.host.close(); // <----- Modified
          }


          If I misunderstand your issue, please tell me. I would like to modify it.
