I am not all that familiar with JavaScript. I have a piece of code below that was developed by a predecessor of mine for a Detail page button. The code works fine, but I would now like to use it as part of an embedded Visualforce page's Commandbutton. Can anyone help on how I would convert this to use in a script call for a VF page?

Javascript (Detail Button):

{!RequireScript("/soap/ajax/35.0/connection.js")}
var a = new sforce.SObject("Account");
a.id = "{!Account.Id}";
a.Mark_Account__c = !{!Account.Mark_Account__c};
sforce.connection.update([a]);
window.location.reload();

Javascript (VF Page):

    <apex:includeScript value="/soap/ajax/35.0/connection.js" />
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function Mark();
        {
            var a = new sforce.SObject("Account");
            a.id = "{!Account.Id}";
            a.Mark_Account__c = !{!Account.Mark_Account__c};
            sforce.connection.update([a]);
            window.location.reload();
        }
    </script>

    <apex:form >
        <apex:commandButton value="Mark" onClick="Mark();return false;"/>
    </apex:form>

  • @Himanshu - I revised my code above to show what works for my Detail page button and what is not working for my VF page commandbutton. Any idea why?

When you are on detail page of your record it will work in following way

<apex:includeScript value="/soap/ajax/35.0/connection.js" />
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function Mark();
        {
            var a = new sforce.SObject("Account");
            a.id = '{!Account.Id}';
            //var marked ='{!Account.Mark_Account__c}';
            a.Mark_Account__c=false;
            alert(a.Mark_Account__c);
            sforce.connection.update([a]);
            window.location.reload();
        }
    </script>

    <apex:form >
        <apex:commandButton value="Mark" onClick="Mark();return false;"/>
    </apex:form>

  • Thanks, however, when I click the button it does not update the checkbox field (Mark_Account__c).

  • alert(marked); to check the value
