Why is the page always reloaded when I hit test button "Click me"?

Posted on by Miha Mocnik 290

Hello!

I implemented simple webresource where I put the code from the link below. There is a simple button with the on click event which shows some random text.. If I test it in the CRM, it is shown normally. If I test the same thing on the MS Portal, the result is shown for a second but the page is then refreshed after each click and the text disappears. Is there any reason why is such behavior? Is there any way to prevent it?

Thank you!

    Hi Miha ,

    You can stop the event from firing using below code.

    Html

    <button onclick="myFunc(event)"> Remove </button>  

    Javacscript

      function myFunc(event){

          event.preventDefault();

      }

    The preventDefault () method of the Event interface tells the user agent that if the event is not explicitly processed, its default action should not be taken into account as it would normally be. The event continues to propagate as usual, unless one of its listeners calls stopPropagation () or stopImmediatePropagation (), either of which terminates the propagation.

    For more possible ways you can have a look into below url

    Hi Miha,

    I think the HTML button in a HTML web resource works because it is a static web page, a button click doesn't cause a reload (postback) while the same button used in the portal page which is a dynamic web page (ASP.NET web form) will cause a postback to web server.

    To avoid this try adding "return false;" in the onClick attribute, for example:

    <button onclick="myFunction(); return false;">Click me</button>

    That is the same code given with some default values for that button click event. You need to modify according to your scenario. By the way document.getElement is unsupported way for CRM. All the jQuery codes will work on the portal.. If you want any custom button then pls use RibbonWorkBench tool . Pls refer below for any custom buttons for crm

    Hope this helps.If the suggestion resolved your query .Pls mark it as answered/verified to close the thread.
