A regular client script seems to only be available in edit mode

That is correct. You will need to use a user event script instead.

right, but a UE is server side, so I can't work with the DOM

gonna try a WFA script, but i think that's server side too?

Yeah, buttons I have seen done. I'm looking through my scripts to see if I did anything like this without but don't see anything yet.

user event script
```
function beforeLoad(ctx) {
  if (ctx.type !== ctx.UserEventType.VIEW {
    return;
  }
  ctx.form.clientScriptModulePath = '/path/to/your/clientscript';
}
```

Hey, what you need to do (assuming ss 1) you can read about here:  <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44730449/netsuite-suitescript-workflow-how-do-i-open-a-url-from-a-field-after-clicking-b/44806236#44806236>

The example shows a button, but in reality it just attaches a client script to the record

this is equivelant to the 'form level' script you can add when you create a custom form

I think there is also a limitation though... I believe only 1 of such scripts can be attached to a form at a time (even using the example on Stack Overflow).  Could be wrong though.

If you have any questions, message me.  The function that will matter to you is form.setScript()

thanks <@UHWV97HAL> yeah i got it working with setScript and a self executing function that checks for context (only executes in a client side context)

thanks for the ninja mode answer <@U8CT0V220> you found that pathway by looking at the page source?
