Thank you for that. I'll play with it later today and see where it takes me. Is there a resource where I can find out what "javascript:" & , "$.get('" &, and & "void(0);"; are for?
- RobIV7 years agoQrew Cadetfor In order to run JavaScript from the browser via URL, you have to preface it with "javascript:". For example, copy / paste the following into your browser address bar and you might get the message alerted to you. Depends on browser security settings. Some will block this type of thing by default for security purposes.
javascript:alert("Hello");
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4163879/call-javascript-function-from-url-address-bar/4163956 for some extra info.
As far as the$.get()
bit, that is most likely shorthand for an AJAX call using the JQuery library, which I believe is loaded in the background for you via QuickBase itself as a dependant for site functionality.
See https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/ for more.
Hope that helps direct you to some extra credit studies when you find the time. - KenCasser7 years agoQrew CadetThank you, Rob! I think that's another part of this puzzle I'm missing.
