Embedded Interface- Records

As far as I know, to embed a record dashboard on HTML5 page, we use custom tags. Appian then generates the UI for it when the page is rendered..So your web page can be a mix of HTML5 content(UI widgets like div, input etc) and the UI widgets generated by SAIL (embedded).. Appian generates the DOM for the embedded record dashboard. So, it should be possible to attach events even to the DOM generated by Appians embedded SAIL.

Now, open the chrome Dev console and inspect the button which is there in the record dashboard. That button should have attributes like class, id etc. You could make use of those and write event handlers in JS for them. But, I see a problem - do those attributes change everytime the embedded form is rendered? Does the ID or class of that button change everytime? If yes, then it will be tricky. If no, then you can easily write a event handler for it, and attach the event handler after the page loads(you could put the JS script after the custom tag used).
