[ckjbeos]

Hi,

Hi, 

I know it's an old post now, but I think it was just your syntax that was wrong. When you placed your code in the function that worked you had the syntax correct. It should have worked without the self executing function.

Your semi-collons were the problem I think.

This: javascript:if (gs.hasRole("itil")) {phone} else {portail};

Should be: javascript: if (gs.hasRole('itil')) return 'phone'; else return 'portail';

OR

javascript:if (gs.hasRole("itil")) {phone;} else {portail;}

P.S. Not tested
