It's not the same without you

In our current JIRA (v4.4.5) we are using javascript in the description of a textfield. The field contains a reference to a directory on our local file system. The javascript is used to display pushbuttons to
- create the project directory automatically on the local file system.
- browse to the directory --> opens an explorer window.
Since we consider an upgrade, I'm testing a more recent version, where javascript is no longer supported. The javascript code gives strange effects: when viewing an issue, the screen becomes blank and only the buttons are shown. (seems like the javascript code replaces the entire JIRA-issue-detail-page). When I delete the js-code, everything works fine.
Does anybody had the same problem? Or are there alternatives to provide these browse & create feature in a newer JIRA?
Thanks,
Gerd
Hi,
I reduced the javascript, to provide a simple example:
<script> function openFolder() { folder = document.getElementById('customfield_11601').value; window.open(folder); } document.write('<input type="button" value="Browse" onClick="openFolder()">'); </script>
Regards,
Gerd
I suggest that you write these scripts using AJS/Jquery instead of plain JavaScript. Also, please check if it works after you inseart a slash (/) right before the last angle bracket here:
document.write('<input type="button" value="Browse" onClick="openFolder()"/>');
Hi, the extra slash at the end doesn't make a difference.
Do you know if it is still possible to add a html button to the description of a custom textfield in the newer JIRA? I'm afraid that - even with jquery it won't work...
Thank you!
