I want to start a JavaScript from the custom action button.  Right now I'm trying to load my JavaScript file with SP.SOD.executeFunc.

My current link looks like:

javascript: SP.SOD.registerSod('JavaScript', '/SiteAssets/javascript/JavaScript.js'); SP.SOD.executeFunc('JavaScript', null, test());

It fails to load the function test().

It works if I load a standard alert.

javascript: SP.SOD.registerSod('JavaScript', '/SiteAssets/javascript/JavaScript.js'); SP.SOD.executeFunc('JavaScript', null, alert('test'));

javascript: SP.SOD.registerSod('JavaScript', '/SiteAssets/javascript/JavaScript.js'); SP.SOD.executeFunc('JavaScript', test, alert('test'));

Hi,

Please check if it helps you

I'm trying to avoid having to build a solution.  I was hoping to use the SOD functions to load the scripts and functions when the button was pressed.

meaning I'd like to run in like

javascript:alert('test'); alert('test2'); alert('test3');

but I was hoping to use SOD, and load my function

I just don't know how to use it.  I see examples on how to do it but it doesn't work how I'm trying to do it.
