Example of SaveBeforeNavigating

Just came by to say it's verking! I am filled with so many happy's.

"Builders can now use a new CSS class (SaveBeforeNavigating) inside of a formula-rich text field so that Quickbase saves the record before navigating when this setting is used.

Note that only one of the above workflow classes is supported per formula-rich text."

Example code of a button:

var text btnName = If(Contains([Egnyte_Link_Text],""),"", If([Email Payroll Trigger],"Email Sent","Send Dispatch to Payroll"));
//URL
var text urlOne = If(Contains([Egnyte_Link_Text],""),"",If([Email Payroll Trigger], URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#]) & "&apptoken=&_fid_369=0&_fid_370=\"\"" & "&z=" & Rurl(), URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#]) & "&apptoken=&_fid_369=1&_fid_370=" & Today() & "&z=" & Rurl()));
var text urlTwo = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & URLEncode([Record ID#]);
var text url = $urlOne & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($urlTwo);
//Style
var text style = If(Contains([Egnyte_Link_Text],""),[styleGrey], If([Email Payroll Trigger], [styleGrey],[styleEdit]));
//Target
var bool popup = false;
var text target = If($popup = true, "target = _Blank ", "");
var text title = "Click button to send Dispatch to Payroll";
//*****DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE*****
//HTML
"<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' title=\"" & $title & "\"style =\"" & $style & "\"" & $target & "href=" & $url & ">" & $btnName & "</a>"
//Syntax end

    Jim,

    The other thing they implemented was 'Openaspopup'. I cannot get this to work. Have you tried, and if so do you know the syntax to add it? I tried 'class=Openaspopup' but that didn't work.... tried target='openaspopup' and that just opens it in a new window.

    I'm trying to figure out the syntax, and even better, if we can control the size of the pop up

      Hi Mike,

      Have you tried syntax (class='OpenAsPopup')? **note single quotes placement and case is camel caps, everything in parenthesis.
      I have not tried it yet. My guess is the pop-up cannot be styled "yet" and that we would need that as a parameter of the class.

      See if you can get it to work. I'll mess around with it tomorrow maybe.

      Good Luck,
      Jim

        Got it working thanks to Justin Torrence who posted on a different thread.

        var text URL = URLRoot() & .............

        "<a href=\"" &url & "\" class=\"OpenAsPopup\">Words Here</a>"

        I will admit, I don't know CSS very well and I typically have different syntax, so am a little unclear as to how I could modify this in different cases (ie, I typically use <a href='" & $URL & "'>Words here</a>" and I don't know how to add it with that syntax, but Justins worked!)
