Hi,

Have you made certain that the find() is obtaining your button? Have you tried writing the same, but with an Id selector instead of class?

$('#" + TheButtonYouWantToClick.Id + "').click();

Hi QIUYAN LI,


Make sure you are getting element to generate event.  you can select element by id, class etc.


Thanks

Hi,

The best way of calling a screen action on JS is with Fake Notify. To accomplish that follow this steps:

  • Add a FakeNotifyWidget (from RichWidgets) to the block and create an OnNotify action for it
  • Name it (the FakeNotifyWidget) and on the onblur event of the desired input add the following:
    OsNotifyWidget('<FakeNotifyWidget>.Id', '<message>')
  • On the OnNotify action you can get the <message> using the NotifyWidgetGetMessage() built-in function and treat it accordingly

Regards,

Marcelo

Hi, 

thank you for the reply.

No console error. 

And I have doubled check that I am able to click on the button, but not stop at the debugging point inside the screen action.

 It is a link <a>.

Do I need to return any Notify?
