How to fire OnClick() Event in Sharepoint page ?

Question

In a Edit item page  and new item page i want to  fire Onclick Event of the Ok button ....any idea?

Answer 1

You could write an event handler for this. SharePoint fires events when items are added/updated/deleted etc. Custom Event Handlers let you write managed code that will run for these events and let you perform additional actions.

Brian Wilson has a great 3 part blog post starting at http://blogs.msdn.com/brianwilson/archive/2007/03/05/part-1-event-handlers-everything-you-need-to-know-about-microsoft-office-sharepoint-portal-server-moss-event-handlers.aspx that got me started with writing my own event handlers. Have a read and that should get you going in the right direction.

Answer 4

The event handler is something that is put together in visual studio, then compiled and deployed to the web server as a DLL, not anything to do with SharePoint designer. If you are looking for a solution in SPD thenwhat GPK2005 suggested might be an option for you
