Create a button on a MS CRM 4.0 form

First of all we need to create a nvarchar attribute and put it on the form where we want our button.

Now Copy the following code in the form OnLoad event.

 
/* Jscript */

   
function gConvertTextFieldToButton(fieldname, buttontext, buttonwidth,clickevent, title){

 /*
