NikPanter Issue with error handling on custom button
Afternoon all,
Well, neophyte s-control writer here....attempting to write an s-control that will write to the account page, and start a workflow. However, some accounts do not meet validation rules, and without error handling, it looks like the s-control goes through and completes but of course the workflow isn't triggered as the criteria is not met (the s-control doesn't update the account). It is likely something small, but would anyone see the err in my ways??? (I am using a custom button that executes javascript...).
Thanks all,
Nik :smileytongue:

Code:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/10.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/10.0/apex.js")}
{
try {
var account = new sforce.SObject("Account");
account.id = '{!Account.Id}';
account.Four_Month_Blitz_One__c = 'TRUE';
account.Four_Month_Blitz_Two__c = 'TRUE';
result = sforce.connection.update([account]);
window.parent.location.href="{!URLFOR($Action.Account.View, Account.Id,null , true )}";
}
{
catch(e)
alert("An error has occurred : " + e);
}
}Thanks all,

I have the same problem. I'm using Try Catch in my JavaScript button, but my catch statement doesn't seem to respect my validation rules.
Here is a snippet of my button:
try {
L.id = "{!Lead.Id}";
L.OwnerId = "{!$User.Id}";
newRecords.push(L);
result = sforce.connection.update(newRecords);
}
catch (e) {
alert("An error has occurred: "+e);
}
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
