Possible causes of 'Button' not working

[JohanR]

Hi,

What could possibly be the problem of a button not executing the server side code?
The button is disabled and then nothing happens.

I have checked, it's not a submit type or anything else, def just a 'plain' button
Not quite sure what to check for in the html or the console.


A similar button on another page works 100%

thanks for any direction.

no idea. could be anything I guess. An example would be needed to properly assess it.

This might not be relevent, but I've found:

* Form -> Memory Form (with "Generate <FORM> tag" ticked OFF) -> Custom button that sends a debug() in the server-side code.

The code does not get run, and there is no movement in firebug console.

The <FORM> is needed (or there's some awesomer reason that Bruce can tell us all about, heh).

I would stick a debug point at the start and end of your block of server side code to eliminate if that is causing the problem.
