Answered Referencing functions in another script on a view

    I have created some custom ribbon buttons which call javascript functions when clicked. These need to reference some other functions that are in a different script. I know that on a form you simply add the library to the form as well but is there any way that this can be done when on a view?

    Thanks

    Hi Jimminybob,

    Yes, you can do it by adding one more row inside the <Actions> tag in the ribbon XML.

    you should use it as below

    <Actions>

    <JavaScriptFunction Library=”$webresource:MainJavascript” FunctionName=”Hello”></JavaScriptFunction>

    <JavaScriptFunction Library=”$webresource:SecondJavascript” FunctionName=”isNaN”></JavaScriptFunction> //This you have to add 

    </Actions>

    The second line will be used to the function of other Second javascript library. Please Vote as helpful if it helps you.

    Thanks,

    Shaleen

    Would this also work with enable and disable rules for the button?

    It doesnt seem to work for enable rules, as soon as the record is selected there is an error and the report says the function is undefined.

    If that's the case, you can use the following JavaScript function to load another JavaScript webresource within your JavaScript code.

    All you need to do is to pass the name of the web resource

    For e.g.

    LoadWebResource("new_commonlibrary.js");      

    LoadWebResource = function(resourceName)
{
	var httpRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
	httpRequest.open("GET", "/" + ORG_UNIQUE_NAME + "/webresources/" + resourceName, false);
	httpRequest.send(null);
	try
	{
		eval(httpRequest.responseText);
	}
	catch (e)
	{
		alert("Error loading " + resource + ":\n" + e.description);
	}
}
