Hello. I have a formula url button which I'd like to use to edit the (current) record, display a jgrowl, then refresh the page. I have it working, except that it frequently displays the "Save this record?" pop-up prior to executing, which throws off the workflow.
Any way to work around that pop-up? Either suppress it or perhaps save the record as part of the button action so as to avoid the pop-up?

Formula URL in form - edit record, display jgrowl, then refresh page

+17Hi Patrick,
If you go into the advanced settings for the table do you have the checkbox to "Save parent record automatically when a child record is created" checked? I find with buttons that are redirecting away if you have that checked you won't get the pop up window instead the record will save automatically and move on to the button's actions.

Thanks, Evan. When I have that box checked, the code seems stop executing midway - the record gets edited, but the jgrowl doesn't display nor does the refresh occur. Thoughts?
+17Sorry Patrick I wouldn't be sure why that would be, I don't work with a lot of javascript or jgrowls in Quick Base. Someone else on here might have some suggestions though on what you might be running into who has more experience with mixing the two.
Can you post the code you are using? I think it is likely the one that most people use but it helps to post in case there is some little error you may not see.
Thanks, all for the help. I ended up addressing the problem using the iol technique described in the following link by Dan Diebolt:
