How to get field value when user click a custom button

[rob78]

I have created custom module which have two fields, supplier_name and customer_name.
I also create a custom button in detailview called getRecord.
At the moment I need to get the value entered by user when I click the button

 array (
  'DetailView' => 
  array (
    'templateMeta' => 
    array (
      'form' => 
      array (
        'buttons' => 
        array (
          0 => 'EDIT',
          1 => 'DUPLICATE',
          2 => 'DELETE',
          3 =>
          array (
            'customCode' => '<input type="button" value="getRecord" name="button" onClick={field_Value};/>',
          ), 
  

I just want to echo it for the moment just to see if i can reference the field, then I will continue with other part which is creating webservice response which includes the field values and post it.
Can you please help me out here

Hi,
Thanks for the reply
This did not work.

I did get the alert working before i started this thread by using.
array (
'customCode' => '<input type="button" value="getRecord" name="button" onClick="alert(\'helloworld\');"/>',
But what i want to do is to get reference from the field values so i can construct XML to pass to webservice. So put alert() function aside (I was using alert function since its easier to debug if I actually got the field value), can I create such xml using php
e.g.. this is done using java script by my colleague who is using Dynamics CRM. I just want to do the same thing in sugarCRM by either modify this calling the same javascript if possible, or generating the same thing using PHP.

 // *** Generate the supplier details
sSupplier = "<SupplierAddress>";
 
// Process the supplier name field
sValue = "";
 
    sValue = $fields.new_supplier.Value; 
 
sSupplier += "<SupplierName>" + sValue + "</SupplierName>"; 
 
// Process the supplier contact field
sValue = "";
 
    sValue = $fields.new_suppliercontact.Value; 
}
sSupplier += "<SupplierContact>" + sValue + "</SupplierContact>"; 
 
// Process the supplier group field
sValue = "";
 
sValue = $fields.new_suppliergroupid.Value;
 
sSupplier += "<SupplierGroupId>" + sValue + "</SupplierGroupId>"; 
sRoutingGrpID = sValue; 
 
sSupplier += "</SupplierAddress>"; 
  

This is an example of what I want to do.
After constructing this xml return, I will get the commands to send this to webservice, which accept 2 parameters. Header and payload. the payload is the xml contructed above.
I just want to get the first step done, which is to get $fields.new_supplier.Value returning value. That is why i was using alert.
Can you help please, as I desperately need help with this.
Thanks

The reference to the field is working now. I was suppose to put {} around the fields.new_supplier.value.

If anybody can help with creating a responce as i described above, it will be great. how to embed javascript on php, so I can just use the existing javascript that I have.
