Javascript on xforms buttons
Locked

Is it possible to have javascript on an Xforms button ? We are using OPS in a portlet (Liferay) and when the user presses an Xforms button on the page we run a pipeline to write a message to an SQLMessageStore which is telling one of the other portlets on the page to display something. In order to get the other portlet to receive the message we need to refresh the browser view, the easiest way to do this is run a bit of javascript with "parent.refresh()" in it, so we need an xforms button (trigger) to run the pipeline and javascript to cause the refresh.

Richard,
Without a change to PresentationServer, I don't see a good way to do this. A "hack" could be to do action that changes the DOM in some way and listen from that modification in JavaScript by adding your own JavaScript event handler. Say you could set the value of an input field and use watch on Firefox and the onpropertychange on IE to be notified when the value property of the input field changes. This is not very elegant though. Anyone can see another solution? Otherwise I can a couple a ways in which we could extend the XForms engine to allow for a JavaScript function to be called.
