Hi, I'm trying to add button here using User Event Script, but find it difficult. That dropdown menu is not populating when the beforeload function is called, but is populating when the mouseover event is occured for the first time. How to add button in beforeload?

print is not suppported, you can add an option to the more actions

I found it difficult to do dom manipulation

As I mentioned above, that dropdown menu is not existing till mouseover event is triggered

so I can't do dom manipulation in User Event script beforeload entry point

correct, beforeload is too early, its serverside, before the dom is even served to be rendered

<https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4387798404.html|Client Script> is the one for dom manipulation

This is view page, can I use client script?

you can use <https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4625445350.html|Form.clientScriptModulePath>, though you wont have access to the client script entry points

The main point is that that dropdown div is not existing

that means I can only append the button div after I move mouse over it.

I tried to get mouse over event and then append at that time, but I can't get event either

as in you couldnt add your own mouseover event

jQueryObj = form.addField({
            id: 'custpage_jquery',
            type: serverWidget.FieldType.INLINEHTML,
            label: ' '
        });

that by itself doesnt do anything interesting

let script =
    '&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;\n' +
    'let printDiv = jQuery("#spn_PRINT_d1")\n' +
    'printDiv.on("mouseover", function(){\n' +
    'jQuery("#div_PRINT_d1 .ac_table tbody").append("&lt;tr&gt;....&lt;/tr&gt;");\n' +
    '});\n' +
    '&lt;/script&gt;';

thats an attempt to add your own mouseover event

what you have looks reasonable, except the ...

although the event probably doesnt do what you want

its adding the tr at the wrong time and probably in a manner that created duplicates

take a look at the event listener that netsuite uses to see the timing issue involving setTimeout
