Hidden Delete Button No Longer Working

[joscetre]

I need to run some script when a record is deleted from a Details Page by the user.  So I have hidden the regular Delete button and substituted the code below:

<button onclick="DeleteFunction()">Delete</button>

<script>
function DeleteFunction()
   {
   document.getElementById("Mod0DeleteRecord").click();
   }
</script>

However, when the substituted button is clicked, the confirmation box opens only momentarily, then closes by itself without actually deleting the record!  I believe this used to work properly, so something may have changed on the Caspio end. (Note that if I unhide the regular delete button and click on that, it works fine.)

Does anyone have experience of this happening?

Try using HTML of delete button, provided here

Hope that helps
