If you want to place a button on a CRM form without using the isv.config file you can do so by javascript. This examples will take a dummy attribute field and make it look and act as a button by calling a javascript function with the onclick event. Place the code below in the onLoad event of your CRM form. In this example the name och city fields are passed as search arguments to an external website.
//make a field look and act like a button
crmForm.all.stockexchange.style.textAlign = “center”;
crmForm.all.stockexchange.vAlign = “middle”;
crmForm.all.stockexchange.style.cursor = “hand”;
crmForm.all.stockexchange.style.backgroundColor = “#CADFFC”;
crmForm.all.stockexchange.style.color = “#000000”;
crmForm.all.stockexchange.style.borderColor = “#330066”;
crmForm.all.stockexchange.style.fontWeight = “bold”;
crmForm.all.stockexchange.DataValue = “Sök bolag”;
crmForm.all.stockexchange.attachEvent(“onclick”, SearchAllaBolag);
function SearchAllaBolag()
{
//Get values from form
if (crmForm.all.name.DataValue != null)
{
var what = escape(crmForm.all.name.DataValue);
var url = ‘http://www.allabolag.se/?what=’ + what
if (crmForm.all.address1_city.DataValue != null)
{
var where = escape(crmForm.all.address1_city.DataValue);
url += ‘&where=’ + where;
}
//open browser window
//alert(url);
window.open(url);
}
else
{
alert(Name is missing.’);
}
}
