I am still new to using this web builder, but got most of the functionality and options under by belt now.
I have still one remaining thing I just don't understand. I'll provide for you the functionality I am trying to figure out and it involves a basic button dropped on a webpage.
I have no form on the webpage just a textarea displaying some information from a record I want to delete.
I have 2 buttons, Yes to delete or No to cancel deletion. User selects No if he/she does not want to delete the record and the button is set to link to the previous webpage . . . so no problem here.
The button that is Yes is my issue. All I want to do is click the button and delete the record. I am not using submit as no form involved and all I want to run is a SQL-statement . . .
Delete FROM deliveries WHERE id = 64
I am looking at the button's onclick event and I do not see anyway to add in any custom PHP or Javascript.
Is there any way to simple run any custom script from the buttons onclick event?

This is not specific to WWB, but more web programming in general.

Firstly, you will have to write a PHP script that deletes the record.
Secondly, you can to trigger the script via a link or Javascript/AJAX.

Hi Pablo,

Yep, I was pondering at the event tab as to why one could not have an option for entering in a custom function call as currently you only have 16-17 javascript presets that you can pick from. Seemed to me this would be a good entry point to say pick a new event, select the onclick event that then allow the developer to make a call to a custom javascript function.
Just seems strange to me you have the Events tab and you have all the different events such as onclick, ondblclick, ondrag, etc.; can pick Action: javascript; but no way to enter in a custom javascript call.
Maybe a thing that would be better suited in the suggestions for the next upgrade.

I looked at a work-a-round that I just tested and it is working fine. I set the button to Link to: File. Then selected my custom Filename: that is an external php file and in it my required PHP server-side commands with embedded javascript I wanted to run. So this is kind of what I was looking at doing with the onclick event.

Pete,

You can use events to call a custom JavaScript function.
You can enter any valid code, in the input field!

Ok... super that is what I wanted to verify!
Thanks
