I am trying to move my Add Child buttons up out of the tabs and on to the main form. To keep it from appearing awkward, I also would like to have the associated tab selected after adding the child record. Due to lack of talent, I've taken a two step approach. The first is the Add Child button now also sets fid_104 to the tab number of the associated child table prior to adding the record. The second part is to use iol to set the focus to the desired tab on reload. I have just the basic iol setup and a codepage with the following which successfully changes the focus to tab 11 on reload:$("#tab_t11_link a").click();What I am would like to do is have it read in the value of fid_104 as a variable, if it is not "0", then use the variable to set the appropriate tab focus and set the fid_104 to "0". Any help is appreciated.------------------------------Brandon Clark------------------------------

Post your formula for the Add Child buttons, you should be using the native & "&z=" & Rurl() and it should return to the correct tab after adding a child record. ------------------------------Everett Patterson------------------------------

Sorry I must have misunderstood, you are wanting a function within the code page that looks at the value of _fid_104 and determines which tab to focus? (function () { //Get the expected tab value var QBUmytab = Number($("#tdf_1").text()); //Go to tab based on value switch(QBUmytab) { case 3: $("#tab_t3_link a").click(); break; case 4: $("#tab_t4_link a").click(); break; };})(); ------------------------------Everett Patterson------------------------------

Given the code above adding in the debugging is the easier part. You should get used to adding it in yourself because it helps you learn as you go.What I would do is start simple, a console.log(QBUmytab); after the variable is set in the code. If you see that it is returning something then go from there. Make sure it is returning what is expected which is some type of number, and if it is returning anything but the numbers listed(3 or 4) then it doesn't have anything in the code to call. If it is returning a 3 or 4 then chances are the code for those may not be exactly right.

tdf# = div ID you want to targetUse F12 dev tools, select an element and target your fid 104 ------------------------------Everett Patterson------------------------------

Thanks for the reply Everett. Code from button below. The issue is that the button to add the child record is not on the child record tab for us. It basically saves the user from having to click the tab header and then click add child. This way they just click add child and then when completed it returns them with the correct tab in focus so they can see it come through and review/edit if required. URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_CONTACTS] & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])& "&_fid_104=11"& "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_OPPORTUNITIES] & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_17=" & URLEncode ([Related Company])& " &_fid_43=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])& "&z=" & Rurl())------------------------------Brandon Clark------------------------------
