UI Page: Cancel Button Not Working

[Nya Valdez]

Hello Community,

I'm having an issue with my cancel button not working on a UI page I've built. When I click on the button, it copies any field values I've inserted into the record. If anyone can please take a look at it and let me know what I've missed, I'd greatly appreciate it. It should be fairly simple ... Here is my code:

HTML Script: 

<button class="btn btn-default" onclick="closeWindow()" style="margin-right:10px;">Cancel</button>

Client Script:

function closeWindow(){
		GlideDialogWindow.get.destroy();
		var urlOnStack = GlideSession.get().getStack().bottom();
response.sendRedirect(urlOnStack);
}

Hi,

What is the Cancel button expected to do? If it just needs to close the UI Page and return to your previous page, the you can use below snippet in HTML. No need of client script.

<button class="btn btn-default" onclick="window.history.back()" style="margin-right:10px;">Cancel</button>

Please let me know if that works.

Hello @mdash 

Thank you so much for your reply.  When the Cancel button is engaged, it should remove any entries made on the UI page and return to the previous window.  Even with modifying my script as you've suggested, when I test it and enter values in the fields and click 'Cancel' the fields are still updated on the form. Please advise.

Hi Nya,

Can you share your complete code here for more clarity? There might be something related to the save function.

Thanks
