Is there any way to run a JavaScript code on press of a button in perspective? ---

only if you make your own module, maybe with the webdev module, but i never used it. What are you trying to do that requires js? ---

I have made a webdev module, don’t know how to make it run when I press a button. I can just return some value on press of button. I’m trying get an alert message if there is inactivity for 3 sec. ---

i dont really know how webdev module works, but my guess is if you make a html page with a button and its script you can show it in perspective with the inline frame… For a simple alert message you might just want to open a popup in perspective instead though xd There should be a session prop `lastActivity` since version 8.1.8 (?) 3 sec is not a lot though btw 😛 ---

yeah. That’s the right way to do it. But since I’m not using the latest version. I was trying to implement it using JavaScript.
