Hi,

Add a hidden field to the data source.

Add an OnSwitchView event to the form and in the event write the following code.

if (thisXDocument.View.Name != "<Cancel view name>")

{

thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("<XPath of the hidden field>").text = thisXDocument.View.Name;

}

Add an on click event for the ‘No' button and write the following code.

viewName = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("<XPath of the hidden field>").text;

thisXDocument.View.SwitchView(viewName);

Switch to previous view on button click

Hey all,

I'm designing some forms that will be published to MOSS, and because they are web-forms, you cannot have popups etc.

The current form I'm busy with has about 10 different views, with a 'Cancel' button on each view. The business requirements is to have a 'Are you sure?' type request before closing the form when someone clicks 'cancel'. I've added a new view called 'Cancel' with a 'yes' and 'no' button on it, that will be navigated to whenever someone clicks on 'cancel' in one of the 10 views.

My problem is: if a user accidentally clicks 'cancel', they get taken to the 'cancel' view. however, because it was a mis-click or something, they don't wan't to close it, so they click 'no'. My question is how do I take them back to the previous view that they were on? Is there a way to say "switch to view (x)" where x is a variable or hidden field or something that contains the previous view?

Thanks for any help
