  • Version verification of js-script running in current release
  • Link new buttons with extra querystring parameters attached in ISV/Sitemap config
  • Etc

Querystring parameter

Notice how the title is changed to current version of the onload script

//Place in
onload of entity

if
(GetItemFromQueryString("tester") == "yes") 

      document.title = "Entity in TESTER mode [" +
JS_VERSION + "]";

else

{

      //Hidden fields logic or something
else

}

function
GetItemFromQueryString(name)

{

      var regexS = "[\\?&]"
+ name + "=([^&#]*)";

      var regex = new RegExp(regexS);

      var tmpURL =
window.location.href;

      var results =
regex.exec(tmpURL);

      if (results == null)

            return "";

      else

            return results[1];
