I want to show/hide custom button on a standard page using picklist value. I searched on google and found many solution using JS Hack. But in Sales force Summer 14 version they remove show HTML from Home Page Component. So how i do that task any other way or solution is available.

  • Have you looked at using a workflow rule, record type and page layout? Or does the button need to be removed as soon as the value is selected? I believe the later would need a Visualforce page.

  • Yes i did that but you can't access standard control from visualforce page. it throws error stating "Blocked a frame with origin "c.ap1.visual.force.com" from accessing a cross-origin frame." Commented Oct 16, 2014 at 7:44
  • I was thinking more of using an apex:commandbutton with the rendered tag, and rerendering it when the picklist gets updated (that's a very simplified description). Does that sound viable to you?

  • Hi Girbot, Thank you for your suggestion. Should we add apex:commandbutton with the rendered tag in standard page, so i can render apex:commandbutton using picklist value. Commented Oct 17, 2014 at 6:48

HTML Area home page components were not removed in Summer '14 and are not going to be removed. The quote from the Summer '14 release notes, shown below, states that SalesForce have introduced a new Visualforce Area home page component that should be used when you need to do JavaScript, CSS or iframes. The old HTML Area home page components will still work but SalesForce will not guarantee that your Javascript will work correctly in then after Summer '15.

You will still be able to do your JavaScript hack but should use a Visualforce Area component rather than a HTML Area component.

In Summer ’15 we will start removing unsupported code from HTML Area home page components. As a result, components that contain JavaScript, CSS, iframes, or other unsupported markup might stop working properly. To use JavaScript or other advanced HTML elements in your home page component, we recommend that you use a Visualforce Area component instead.
