The buttons should work identically on a report or form.

    It's working for me.

    This is working, for example.

    var text Update= URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & ToText([Record ID#])  & "&_fid_188=" & ToText(Now());

    var text URL = 
    "javascript:" &
    "$.get('" & 
    $Update & 
    "',function(){" &
    "$.jGrowl('This Item has been put on PO CANCEL snooze', {life: 5000, theme: 'jGrowl-green'});" &
    "});" &
    "void(0);";

    "<a class='Vibrant Danger' href=\"" & $URL &"\"" & ">Button name goes here" &  "</a>
