I have an HTML button on a form, I want to call a form javascript function on button click. This function has confirm dialog. When I click on the button nothing happening. Below is the code, we are on onprem V8.2. Based on user response I want to update a field. where I am doing wrong?

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/jscript">
function callfsENotification()
{
window.parent.Xrm.Page.fsENotification();
}
</script>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="callfsENotification()" type="button">Send Email Notification</button>
</body>
</html>

function fsENotification()
{
Xrm.Utility.confirmDialog("Are you sure you want to send Email Notification", function(){ alert("yes"); },function(){alert("No");});
}

Hi Krish,

Is there any specific reason why you want to call to a function in the form JS?

My suggestion is that you provide your iframe the Dynamics context, and avoid creating the dependency to the form JS.

You can do this by adding the reference for ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx in the header of the HTML.

More information here: docs.microsoft.com/.../getglobalcontext-clientglobalcontext.js.aspx

To update the field on the form, you can then use the parent.Xrm.Page method.

So your code would look something like (as an example):

<html>

<head>

// the relative path here will depend on the context. I recommend you look to the doc linked above to know what is the correct way of calling this JS

<script src="../ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx" type="text/javascript" ></script>

<script type="text/jscript">

function callfsENotification()

{

Xrm.Utility.confirmDialog("Are you sure you want to send Email Notification", function(){ alert("yes");

parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("...").setValue(true);

},function(){alert("No");});

}

</script>

<meta charset="utf-8">

</head>

<body>

<button onclick="callfsENotification()" type="button">Send Email Notification</button>

</body>

</html>

Thanks for your reply. I used below script working fine.

<html><head>

<script src="ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/jscript">

function callfsENotification()

{

//debugger;

window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.save();

Xrm.Utility.confirmDialog("Are you sure you want to send Email Notification", function(){

var sendEmail = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("emailtrigger");

if (sendEmail.getValue() != true)

{

//trigger the workflow by setting this value to true

sendEmail.setValue(true);

window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.save();

}window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("emailtrigger").setSubmitMode("always");

window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.save();},function(){return;});

}

</script>

<meta charset="utf-8">

<meta><meta><meta><meta><meta><meta><meta><meta><meta><meta><meta><meta></head>

<body onfocusout="parent.setEmailRange();" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">

<button onclick="callfsENotification()" type="button">Send Email Notification</button>

</body></html>
