Override save method

!unsupported alert!

Unsupported, but this works :)

I do sometimes get the question how it is possible to override the save method. You could dig into the javascript files or htc files, but following this solution is a lot better.

You can modify the aspx file, which you want to change the behaviour of the save button. Insert this script into the file and you will get an alert before saving the file:

<script language="javascript">
//make the form aware of our new save method
function window.onload(){
crmForm.onsave = overriddenSave;
crmForm._bUseCustomSaveEvent = true;
}

//implementation of the new save method
function overriddenSave(){
//do your thing here
alert('Your modifications will be saved now');

//save the form.
crmForm.SubmitCrmForm(1, true, false, false, false);
}
</script>

Hope this helps!
