Add button/link action to a list

Question

I have a list where I need the user to perform an action on each item (it will eventually start a workflow) so I was wondering without creating a webpart is it possible to add a button or link that can fire off some code related to the selected item?

Thanks

Dan

Answer 1

there are a lot of options but it really depends on what you mean by "fire off some code".

You can use the javascript api to do a ton of things in 2010. here is a presentation on codeplex about javascript features in sp2010 - http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/sps2010cljs

Answer 2

You could add a custom action to the ECB menu for a list.
