Hi,

I use a javascript to warn user when is leave the current page but….
I don’t want a warn when the user click on save button !

How can I do that (simply of course…) ?

This should be a default behavior of Xataface but haven’t gotten around to adding it.

  1. You have a boolean variable to track whether any changes have been made.
  2. You add js change handlers to all fields in form. If there is a change, you set the “changed” variable from step 1 to true.
  3. You add a submit listener to the form or the submit button that sets the “changed” variable to false.
  4. Your window on leave listener pops up a warning only if the “changed” variable is true.

(You could also get by without checking or changes and just making the changed variable default to true.

thanks for your repply shannah.

Is there a way to handler changes for all the fields without add handler to each of them ?
If I have add a field I must add a handler… !!!

How to add a handler for my record and no for each fields into the record ?
