Hello Moin,

Are you getting any error in your code?

I would suggest go to F12 window of the browser and find the button I'd using selector of F12 window and then directly write like below.

document.getElementById('<button_ID>').click();

Hi,

You can also try to call a html page method and from there you can call button on click event. But yes debugging can give your more option here to check if you are getting object correctly or not.

Hi Moin,

Are you getting any errors, or just asking for suggestions?

What I would recommend is create a function on your html web resource to handle the calling of the button, and then from your mysearchbutton, call that function directly.

Xrm.Page.getControl("WebResource_<Name>").getObject().contentWindow.window.myFunction();

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

Thanks for your help

That JS and HTML are two different web resources and JS was actually loading before the HTML iframe is loaded so the JS was unable to find the html element

So i used set timeout of 1 second and that run successfully

function mysearchbutton () {

setTimeout(function () {
debugger;
var obj = Xrm.Page.getControl("WebResource_<name>").getObject();
obj.contentWindow.document.getElementById('<button_ID>').click()
}, 1000);

}
