Execute javascript function from a Button

Hello,
​
In the Events tab for a Button, I was looking for a "Function" action so that I can execute a JS function from a button press.
​
I was a bit surprised to find that the option is not there in the Actions dropdown.
​
Is there a way to achieve the same result? Basically I want to reset several form fields using a Javascript function if a button is clicked. I can achieve the same result in another way but it is not so visually effective and it would be very useful if a button can be used for this.
​
Cheers

Of course it can is it not there? On click? Function? Should be there.
​
If not just bind it as usual with jQuery

Well, no..
​
Have a look.. the option "Function" is not in the Actions dropdown for a Button object.
​
And.. um.. how do I "bind it as usual...?" I have never done anything like that..
​
Cheers

Hi Tim,
​
Please see the jQuery docs here for an example.

OK, got it🙂
​
Thanks heaps..
​
But I am puzzled why the choice to execute a function is not present in the Action dropdown for a button. It seems a natural thing to want to do with a button, and it is obviously possible🙂
​
Anyway no matter. Problem solved.

Hi Tim,
​
I see Function in the Button element Actions list - though you have to scroll down to get there.

Hi Bob,
​
On the button Actions I see the following:
​
Enable
Disable
Show
Hide
Enable Validation
Disable Validation
Add to
Subtract from
Multiply with
​
And that is all. No Function or Reload.
​
Perhaps I need an upgrade or something?
​

HI Bob and all,
​
Yes, that fixed the problem - I now see the two missing options.
​
However, not all is bad - I have learned how to "bind" actions with jQuery, so I am no longer limited to the Actions list provided, and that will certainly help.
​
Many thanks to you and to healyhatman for pointing me in the right direction.
​
Cheers
