<Page>: Page name

Name of page to validate,
Empty string ("") to validate the current page.
The page to validate must be one of the pages currently displayed in the browser.

<Button>: Control name

Name of the Button control whose server click code will be run. This control must belong to the specified page.

<Target>: Optional character string or constant

This parameter can also correspond to the "_blank" string (compatibility with WEBDEV 1.5).

<Window of the browser>: : Optional character string (with quotes)

Remarks

Caution: a single action can be performed at a time on the same page

PageSubmit triggers an action on the page displayed in the browser of Web user. However, INTERNET browsers allow only one action on the page per treatment.

For example, if a process sends a page to the server (PageSubmit) and opens the messaging software (EmailOpenMail), only the last action (opening the messaging software) will be performed.

Caution: Some types of buttons automatically trigger an action on the page ("send to server" button, "other" button whose action differs from "none"). If PageSubmit is used in the browser click code of these buttons (or in a procedure called by this process), this function will be ignored: only the action of the button will be performed.

Consequences: PageSubmit cannot be used in a code triggering an action (automatically or not). This function is ignored:

In the click code of a "submit" button.
In the click code of an "other" button whose action is different from "none".
If it is followed by PageSubmit or EmailOpenMail (in the current process, in a procedure called by the current process or in another process called by Execute).

Using PageSubmit from a Button control

To use PageSubmit from a Button control (browser click code of the control) this control must have the following characteristics:

Type of button: "Other".
Action: "None".

The name of the Button control corresponds to a variable or a built string.

If the name of the Button control corresponds to a variable or a built string (for example: "CONTROL"+nControlNumber), no check can be performed during the compilation. Any error will trigger a JavaScript error or an HTTP error when using the function.
