Hi All,

I’ve just started using ACF and very new to JS – I’m trying to use the acf.getField() function to return the value in a field within a post.

Here is the code i have:

<script>
(function($, undefined){
  var myimage1 = acf.getField('image1');
  //test the variable loaded
  document.write(myimage1);

  document.getElementById("ImageURL").src = myimage1;
})(jQuery);
</script>

When this loads its outputs [object Object]

I suspect i need to reference a specific value? i’ve seen references to acf.getField(‘image1’).val() – but when i try this i get nothing back.

Anyone able to give me some direction on the correct calli need to make to get the value passed back? for reference this field is a URL.

Any help would be appreciated.
