Back button without trigerring Validations

Category: Server Side JavaScript
Platform: All
Release: 8.5.1
Role: Developer
Tags: Xpages,back button
Replies: 2

Hello,

I have two xpages, xpageA and xpageB. I am opening xpageB from a button on xpageA. xpageB contains a Back Button (client side Javascript window.back()) and few editable fields which has validation.

When I click on the "Back" button on xpageB, I do not want any of the validation to fire, instead just go back to xpageA.

Currently, the validation gets triggered and can not go back to XpageA. Using the browsers back button I can get back to xpageA. How do I simulate the browsers back button on my custom button on xpage?

Any Idea and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ven

Change the button to a "Cancel" type button. No coding required.

Just make sure the "navigation" is set to return to Page A on submit or cancel.

clicking cancel will not trigger any validation and return to the designated page
