wt35 Issue with JavaScript button: value is undefined
Hi community,
I have a JavaScript button that calls successfully an Apex class.
However, now I want to give the Opportunity record as a parameter to my Apex method but it does not work.
(it is a detail page button)
When clicking on the button from the Opportunity, the message I get is:
"
A problem with the OnClick JavaScript for this button or link was encountered:
value is undefined
"
This is my JS button:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/27.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/10.0/apex.js")}
var opp = sforce.SObject("Opportunity");
var myString = sforce.apex.execute("ClosedDuplicate","myMethod2",{contextOpp:opp});
window.alert(myString);
Basically, what I am unable to do is transmit the opportunity record from where the button has been clicked to my Apex method. I hope its is possible. If not can someone give me the script for trasnmitting the record ID?
Thanks!
After further diggin, I found a solution thanks to this blog:

Instead of
var opp = sforce.SObject("Opportunity");I put:
var opp = new sforce.SObject("Opportunity"); opp.id = "{!Opportunity.Id}";That worked....

Hi ,
For passing the parameter in such cases to controller, you must use apex:param visualforce component.
See the example below,

Thank you, but I am asking for a solution via JavaScript, not Visualforce
