Service Portal: Javascript in HTML Widget

[warciech]

Hi,

Is it possible to use Javascript in the stock HTML widget? 

I am trying to create a hyperlink in text that would take users back one page and I was thinking to use Javascript for that purpose (history.back()), but whenever I put that in the HTML, it gets formatted out and doesn't work.

Perhaps there is a better way to achieve that?

In Service Portal HTML, you should call the function and then in client controller define the function.

HTML should be

 <a href="javascript:void(0)" ng-click="previousPage()">Back</a>

Inside client controller, use

$scope.previousPage = function(){
window.history.back();
}

Ran into something similar and Sanjiv's solution worked like a charm!
