triggering a Servoy Method

Classic Servoy
1 
<a href='javascript:load_selected_contact(447099)' class='name'><b>Test
Customer</b></a>

Here, we can call a servoy method load_selected_contact().

But, can we trigger th same servoy method from an event?

That mean,

Can i do like this,

<form><input type=button onClick='javascript:load_selected_contact(447099)' value='Execute'>
</form>

Any one have any Idea on this :?:

It is not working.

First of all it seems the SUN html engine doesn’t support of the type button. It doesn’t draw a button.
Also I don’t believe any JavaScript works inside the HTML when used in the SUN html render engine i.e. inside Servoy Developer/Rich Client.
And onClick events are JavaScript events.

So in short, you can only use it as an URL.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Robert,

Yes, It is displaying the Button but not firing any event.

Sorry but I don’t see a button when using , not even with Servoy 3.5rc4.
We are talking about an HTML_AREA in Developer/Rich Client right ?

Hi Robert,

Yes, we are talking about HTML_AREA in Developer/Rich Client.

Here is the code Snippet.

gHTML = "<html><form><input type="submit" value="Click me"></form></html>"

And this gHTML is a global Field.

Hope this is clear to you.

gHTML = “<input type=“submit” value=“Click me”>”

(emphases is mine)

That will indeed work but your original code was this (and doesn’t show a button)

(emphases is mine)

So that’s the reason for the confusion on my part :)

Hmm,… :)

I got it. :)
