    Hi All,

    I want to call a page automatically on check of condition.

    My requirement is if comparedates field  returns false call a html  page.

    My code  is as follows:

    If([comparedates]="false",URLRoot()&"db/" &Dbid() & "?a=dbpage&PageName=removeaccess.html")

    I know that this is possible onclick of button .But i want it to be executed automatically

    I too dont want to use image onload technique as well.

    Please give me suggestion on this.

    I don't have an answer for you, but when they roll out the Webhooks feature into general release in a few months, then similar to firing off an email Notification, you will be able to fire off a webservice call.

    It isn't clear to me what you are trying to accomplish. What do you mean by "Call a page"? If you mean load a user defined HTML page you will unload the current page without saving the current record and load your user defined HTML page. If you mean execute a script saved as a user defined page you need to call $.getScript() which will not in itself unload the current page. In any event you will not be able to do any of this automatically without getting your JavaScript to execute when the current page loads and that is the whole purpose of the IOL technique.

    The workflow you are describing does not make any sense to me. What page (?a=dr, ?a=nwr, ?a=er etc) are you on when you want this functionality to be implemented? Whatever page you are on the only way to automatically load a html page is by assigning a value to document.location.href using JavaScript and this will happen in a blink of the eye if [comparedates] is false. In other words you will not even see the page you are on because it will immediately load the new page if [comparedates] is false.

    Let me ask you this: What function does removeaccess.html perform?

    I do not understand what you are trying to accomplish. You need to elaborate what you are trying to accomplish and answer my two questions. This code will be trivial to write once the requirements are known.
