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.
