Create a button to update fields on Custom Object

Good afternoon,

I'm looking to create a button on a custom object that updates the owner and status of the record on the object (Sales_Order__c).  So on button click, the owner changes to a specific queue, and the status updates to "Sales Order Submitted".  What i have below so far:


{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/13.0/connection.js")}

var sor = new sforce.SObject("Sales_Order__c");

sor.Id = '{!Sales_Order__c.Id}';
sor.OwnerId = '00Ge0000000XKF0';
sor.Status__c = "Sales Order Submitted";
var result = sforce.connection.update([sor]);
window.location.reload();

but when i click the button, nothing happens.  Can someone take a look and let me know where i went wrong (no error message, screen just refreshes but changes aren't made).

Please try to use browser's logger to find any error messages, this seems related to JS and I feel it must be because of Double Quotes used on line sor.Status__c = "Sales Order Submitted";

Change your code from

sor.Status__c = "Sales Order Submitted";

to

sor.Status__c = 'Sales Order Submitted';

thanks for your help Varun and Vinit, looks like it was the Ownerid line, i removed it (and had that piece operate through a workflow) and the button works now. Appreciate your feedback.
