I agree this no longer works. The hack that I thought of was to add a hidden div to a formula rich text field with a specific id that I could then reference in my js file.
So, if you want to pass the value of the "Name" field as a variable called "my_name" ...
The formula rich text field:
"<div id=QBU_name style='display:none'>" & [Name] & "</div>"
in the .js file:
var my_name = document.getElementById("QBU_name").innerHTML;

Subject: Getting field values into javascript on the page
I've noticed in some posts, that there is a notation to get the value of fields dynamically while running JavaScript on the page, IE: iol technique...
However, I've been unable to get this notation correctly to be able to recreate.
I've attempted similar to this:
var link = $("#_fid_12").val();
console.log(link); but this always comes back undefined or errors out entirely
