Hi all,
I have a custom HTML web resource in the form. I'd like to know if there is a way to detect a navigation from the page and fire a javascript function. The problem is user can make several changes in the web resource and after that, he can navigate away from the current form. I want to save those changes in that case. Is this possible? Or maybe there's another way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Arsen.
Hi,
Please share the resolution details here and mark it as answer so that it can help others :)
Thanks guys. I was able to resolve this by using onbeforeunload handler and some simple code blocking techniques :)
Ohh Okay, see if you can use session storage to store your values.
Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your effort :) I know how to access parent form methods and fields. The problem is my web resource is within the same window as the parent form. So whenever we unload the main form, the web resource gets unloaded as well. So i need to fire some code whenever the t unload event fires.
Hi Arsen,
My suggestion was to get the info of the parent record which also include executing the methods. So if you have any JavaScript method on your parent, you can execute that as well using window.opener or window.parent. The other option was to again get the fields from the parent record so you have some kind of context to access it later or use web api to save it externally.

Sad if this doesn't fit your requirement :)
Hi Ravi, thanks for your answer. The question is not about accessing the parent window fields from an html web resource actually. It's about firing event on parent window unload :)
Thank you Goutam! I should definitely try those options.
Hi Arsen,
Typically when you open the HTML web resource from an entity form you can access the parent record fields from where the HTML is opened using "window.opener.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(Schema_Street1)". The only thing is that it may not work if you navigate away from that entity record.
The other option is to pass the record id from the entity record to the HTML and then use WEB API to update the record based on the details-

Hope this helps.
Hi Arsen,
There is no such OOB or supported method for that however you could use JQUERY library or accessing window properties . Try with this-
