Simple actions (JavaScript)

A simple action performs a pre-programmed activity that can be modified by arguments.

Simple actions reside in the Events view for a page or control. There are separate sets of simple actions for Client and Server.

For example, a button that loads another page to the browser is implemented by first selecting onclick, Server, and Simple Actions in the Events view. Then click Add Action and fill in the Add Simple Action dialog box.

The types of simple actions are as follows:
  • Basic
  • Component
