Determining calling action

[Simon]

Hello all

I am writing an FPL script, which I intend to attach to the "On Click" action of numerous buttons. Is there a way to send the name of the calling button to the script, so the script knows which button was clicked? Or do I have to create a separate script for each button?

Thanks a lot for your help.

To date I have always created seperate scripts for each "On Click" event or if I use the same field name in various forms with the same functionality I create a specific field name script.

I do not know of any currently supported way of retrieving the name of the button clicked, if it is currenly possible then I would love to know it as it would help with code re-use.

It may be possible with a custom Java Function using an undocumented API feature of Ebase but I am not sure if Ebase would be happy with you doing it or be willing to supply the info or function. You can always ask them though.

Thanks AJ, I thought that might be the case.

While I reading through the Ebase help documentation today, I accidentally happened upon a custom function that solves this problem. It is called getactionfield.
