View Element Reference
< action />
An
action
element creates a user interface button. The
action
element may be used to place a button in the panel titlebar or adjacent to a form field. The
action
element typically contains command elements, which represent operations that are performed when the
user clicks on the button:
<action id="save">
<title translatable="true">Save</title>
<tooltip>Save Record</tooltip>
<command type="saveForm"/>
<command type="showPanel" panelId="projects_list"/>
</action>
Alternatively, the control may use the
onclick
attribute to call a JavaScript function by name. The
onclick
attribute can also take inline JavaScript fragments:
<action onclick="copyValues">
<title translatable="true">Copy Values</title>
</action> <action onclick="alert('Copying Values'); copyValues();">
<title translatable="true">Copy Values</title>
</action>
