Query the Response from an API_AddRecord formula text button

Hello, I have a formula text button which is an API_AddRecord and uses J-Growl notifcation to show the product has been added.  I made each product have a unique field so it can't be added twice.  ...

First I wouldn't use the $.get inside console.log. I'd be willing to give you a hand if you're willing to do this in a .js custom page instead of a formula text .and then adding an invisible field to load the JS file known as the image onload technique. It's a pretty simple setup and can be found on the forum. If you add IOL and want help feel free to reach out. Chuck@Chuck.Support

Great.  The only reason I used console.log was to see what it looked like but that was as far as I got.  It sounds like I will absolutely need a code page.  I am pretty sure I have the resources to make the code page. 

My question is why use IOL can't I just use an a href tag and link to said code page?  Love the IOL technique, we use it all over the place, just trying to understand it better. 

Thanks!
