You can use savefunc to create a custom Browser Script that runs whenever a record is saved or submitted.
Instructions:
- Create a Custom Field on the page of type: Custom Field Type: Special – Browser Script
- Include a function in the Browser Script called savefunc that includes the JavaScript you wish to execute when the record is either saved or submitted.
Example 1:
function savefunc()
{
do this
RunAnotherFunction()
do that
return true
}
- Note that JavaScript is case sensitive.
Example 2:
- The following sample JavaScript function will prompt the user to confirm if they really want to save the record.
function savefunc()
{
var answer = confirm ("Do you really want to save this?")
if (answer)
{
alert ("Consider it done")
return true
}
else
{
alert ("Keep filling it in then")
return false
}
}
- The "return false" isn't strictly necessary. If the function does not return true then false is assumed.
