Loading dependent jscript libraries in ribbon button’s execution CRM 2013

I have a ribbon button on my “Quote” main grid .

I am calling function “sayHello” which is in my web resource “Quote_ribbon” by defining custom action like below.

FunctionName=”sayHello”

Now the problem is, I need to call another method from my “sayHello” function, which is in other web resource “common”.

Solution :-

The solution is simple. We can add all the required libraries to node like below

FunctionName=”isNaN”

Note – Since requires a function name, pass “isNaN”.

If you refer 3rd party libraries like jquery or XRMToolkit in your library then just add those in the actions.

Make sure you use the correct order when configuring the ribbon actions.

The dependent script files has to be ordered before the actual script file.

Using JQuery and Json in Ribbon button’s function handler(Include JS files in Ribbon Button Script)

In one of my CRM 2011 requirement, I had to update a record using ribbon button placed on CRM grid.
I had written an update script which calls OData service using Json & JQuery. (link)
But when I execute the function, I got “$ undefined” exception.
I wondered since I already had “Json.js” & “JQuery.js” web resources added to my entity.
After digging deeper, I came to know that, “JQuery.js” web resource is not getting loaded when my ribbon button’s function handler fired.

Fix :-

I fixed the problem by loading “JQuery.js” web resource dynamically, before I call my update method.
Below is the script to load the web resource’s

var JScriptWebResourceUrl = “../WebResources/new_JQuery”;

var xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);

xmlHttp.open(“GET”, JScriptWebResourceUrl, false);

xmlHttp.send();

eval(xmlHttp.responseText);
