Custom Button Using Javascript

Hello

 

I have a general question regard Javascript in custom button. I want that the user will get an error message if a field is blank on the lead layout (in this case - company type).

The code below is working, just wanted to understand if "REQUIRESCRIPT" section is needed (connection and apex rows)

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/26.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/26.0/apex.js")}  

var leadObj = new sforce.SObject("Lead"); 
leadObj.Id = '{!Lead.Id}'; 
var type = "{!Lead.Company_Type__c}"; 
if (type == "") 
{ 
alert("Please enter company type before converting this lead"); 
} 

else{ 
var result = sforce.connection.update([leadObj]); 
window.location.href = "/lead/leadconvert.jsp?retURL=%2F{!Lead.Id}&id={!Lead.Id}"; 
}

 

Thanks!

Hi Italy,

 

Yes the Requirescripts are necessary.

 

The sforce object that you have used in the code is not available in javascript. This is available through these included libraries.

 

Thanks
