Forum OpenACS Development: Javascript in ad_form

Hello Brad,

first, you have to suppress the standard submit button by setting the switch has_submit to 1 (!).

then you can insert a button widget like this:

{mysubmit:text(submit)
{mylabel "mylabel"}
{html {onclick "alert('yeah');"}}
}

Thanks a million for this Michael! I was just trying to do the same thing when I found your post. I used the following to get a Ok/Cancel Javascript confirm:

{mysubmit:text(submit)
{label "Proceed"}
{html {onclick "return(confirm('Are you sure?'));"}}
}

cheers
Brian

I have tried to create a page with the submit widgets, but i have found that the -edit_data is not firing. Can i use the custom widgets with an -edit_data?

{ Update:text(submit)

}
{ Delete:text(submit)

}
{ Cancel:text(submit)

}
