  • onChange – it starts when the specified field in the form is changed;
  • onSubmit – this client-side script can cancel form submitting by returning false.
  • onCellEdit - this client-side script starts at the moment when some cell is to edit.
ViewSpecify a form view on which the client script should be run. You can specify more than one view. If no view is specified, then this client script will be executed on all the views if there are any.
Condition
