Autosave a form when navigating to another record

Scriptcase 8 Discussion

I would like to automaticly save a form (so no need to clic on the save button) when my user navigate form page to page.
I’ve done the following:

I have created a javascript methode call sauvegarde
nm_atualiza(‘alterar’);
return false;

In the event onNavigate I’ve putted the following code

/**

  • Call a Javascript function after an AJAX call
    */

// Javascript function parameters
$javascript_function = ‘sauvegarde’; // Javascript function name
$javascript_parameters = array( // Javascript function parameters, add as many as needed
);

// Call javascript function
sc_ajax_javascript($javascript_function, $javascript_parameters);

But, it does’nt work.

Does someone have an idea ?

Thanks

It does not work because onNavigate is executed at coming to the next record and not by leaving the current record.

Thanks for your response. So what would be the correct event ?

You can try a javascript event on leave focus or something.
however , on navigate after leaving the record is a bug, because what is the purpose of it? we already have an onload/onload record event, so it is just double.
it should be before leaving the record, so many practical applications ,
sometimes i think sc develops the framework but does not have experience with serious applications of itsown framework.
