Have trouble invoking Apex using custom button with S-Control / Ajax

I need to have a custom button that will clone a lead then give it a different record type. I am using the custom button to invoke S-Control which will then call my Apex code as webservice but so far, the call not able to invoke anything, without any error message.

S-Control code here:





<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/functions.js"></script>
<script src="/soap/ajax/15.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/soap/ajax/15.0/apex.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
function createCharterLead() {
var lead = sforce.sObject("lead");
var lead2 = sforce.apex.execute("spinOffCharterLead","createCharterLead",l:lead);
}
</script>



Charter Lead created.








Apex code:

global class spinOffCharterLead {

// eyCDUkymDHyd9MisHBFLPIYJm

webService static Lead createCharterLead(Lead l) {

// log entry
System.debug('Now in spin off class');

ID cid = [select id from RecordType where name='CharterLead' limit 1].id;
System.debug('Now selected recordtype ID');

Lead lc = l.clone(false, true);
lc.RecordTypeId = cid;

// Now insert
insert(lc);
System.debug('Inserted Lead');

// Track
Program_Charter_Link__c pcl = new Program_Charter_Link__c();
pcl.Charter_Lead__c = lc.Id;
pcl.Program_Lead__c = l.Id;
insert(pcl);
System.debug('Inserted tracking');

return lc;

}

}

First, I recommend against using an S-Control since these are being eliminated next year. Instead, use an OnClick JavaScript event for your button.

 

Here's some code that I have to call a method from a JavaScript button:

 

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/16.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/16.0/apex.js")}
 
var ICS_RecordType = "012300000000Be1";
var SPS_UserProfiles =  "00e30000000f8h4";
var currentProfileID = "{!$Profile.Id}";
var runButton = true;
 
if ("{!Opportunity.ContractID__c}" != "") {
   parent.document.location.href = "{!IF( ISNULL(Opportunity.ContractIDId__c) == false, URLFOR( $Action.Contract.View,    Opportunity.ContractIDId__c, [retURL=Opportunity.Link]), '')}";
} else {
   if ( ("{!Opportunity.RecordTypeId}" == ICS_RecordType) && ({!Opportunity.IsClosed} == false) )  {
       alert("The [Create Contract] button cannot be used on Opportunities that are already marked as Closed/Won or Closed/Lost.");
       runButton = false;
   }
   if ( ( "{!Opportunity.RecordTypeId}" != ICS_RecordType) && (SPS_UserProfiles.search(currentProfileID) == -1) ) {
       alert("The [Create Contract] button is restricted to specific User Profiles for SPS Record Types. Please Contact your admin for additional assistance if needed.") ;
       runButton = false;
   }
   if (runButton) {
       var result = sforce.apex.execute( "OpportunityButtons", "createContract", {oppID:"{!Opportunity.Id}"} );
       if (result != "") {
           result = new String(result);
           if (result.substr(0,1) != "/") alert(result);
             else parent.document.location.href = result;
        }
    }
}

On a related note I do -not- see any output from System.debug into the System Log window at all!? Any ideas why? Thank you.

Thanks but it is still not working.  No system log generated.  No alert pop-up.  Also, should it be ' or " to enclose text string?
 
Attaching apex code here again:
 
global class spinOffCharterLead {
    
    // eyCDUkymDHyd9MisHBFLPIYJm
    
    webService static Lead createCharterLead(Lead l) {
        
        // log entry
        System.debug('Now in spin off class');
        
        ID cid = [select id from RecordType where name='CharterLead' limit 1].id;
        System.debug('Now selected recordtype ID');
        
        Lead lc = l.clone(false, true);
        lc.RecordTypeId = cid;
        
        // Now insert
        insert(lc);
        System.debug('Inserted Lead');
        
        // Track
        Program_Charter_Link__c pcl = new Program_Charter_Link__c();
        pcl.Charter_Lead__c = lc.Id;
        pcl.Program_Lead__c = l.Id;
        insert(pcl);
        System.debug('Inserted tracking');
                
        return lc;
        
    }

}

Hi, Are your custom button is on the detail page of Lead? It should be on the detail page of lead.In S-Control you can use " and in Apex class user ' for strings.More I can help you after login into your SFDC Org, user my Id Rajan_Jasuja2005@yahoo.comto share your login details.

Yes it's on Detail page of Lead.  I will also try the onclick Javascript as well & post the results.  Thank you.

Using OnClick helps greatly!!  At least now i can get the stack trace.  Thanks!!
