Issue

• How can one click a button on a form from a client-side script?

Resolution

• Here are two sample scripts that do that. For example, they can be called from the client extensions of a form using OnLoad=ButtonClickTest()&Language=JScript \[VBScript\].

  VBScript:
  Sub ButtonClickTest()
    eworkData.FieldByName("ButtonName").HTMLfield.onfocus()
    eworkData.FieldByName("ButtonName").HTMLfield.onclick()
  End Sub

  JScript:
  Function ButtonClickTest()
  \{
    eworkData.FieldByName("ButtonName").HTMLfield.onfocus();
    eworkData.FieldByName("ButtonName").HTMLfield.onclick();
  \}
