Mimic the standard clone button with a onclick javascript custom button

Is this possible

 

Mimic the standard clone button with a onclick javascript custom button 

 

I know I can do with with controller extension, but trying to avoid having to create the page using visualforce e.t.c

 

Thanks

Yes it is possible. I have tried it in the past but code is not in java script though.

 

<apex:commandButton value="Clone" action="{!URLFOR($Action.Opportunity.edit, opportunity.id, [clone='1'])}"/>

 

Replace Opportunity with your object's API name.

 

Found this code suggested by someone when I searched for something similar - clone without using controller.

Thanks for the response - I can run this without visualforce though?

Sorry I didn't read your post correctly. This code works on VF page :(

adding custom button in a standard page there is a option that it can return url after click right?

Yes there is a way to redirect to a url. Actually that's a good point. I can create varibles of all the existing values I want in the new rrecord, then redirect and set...

 

Thanks all - I think I know how to do it now.
