There may be a requirement to open an HTML page from a button. In this example, we will use the Ribbon Workbench to open a page from a button.
First, create a new solution and go to Web Resources:
Click New and enter details for the HTML page. Select Type:
Select Type as Webpage and then select Text Editor:
This will open an HTML page:
Selecting the Source tab will show the HTML:
Enter some text and press OK:
Press Save and Publish:
We now need some JavaScript to open the new page. Create a new Web Resource, this time JScript:
Go to the text editor and enter a function that will open the page:
function OpenPage () {
Xrm.Utility.openWebResource("new_TestHTMLPage.html");
}
Now we will add an entity to our solution that will have the button we are launching this from. Add the account entity:
Save and publish the solution. We can now use the solution in Ribbon Workbench.
Go to Ribbon Workbench:
Select Open Solution:
You may need to press Refresh. Select the resource and click OK:
The workbench will open:
Drag a button from the Toolbox to the Form area:
Rename the button:
Click + to add a command:
Under Actions, select Add Action and JavaScript:
Type the name to look up the resource:
Add the Function Name:
Then set the command just created on the button:
Click Publish:
Open the Account form. The new button will appear in the ribbon:
The JavaScript is called and the web page opened:

after doing same procces,one window pop up and i am getting this “HTTP Error 404 – Not Found” please help!
It gave your error because your function is like this:
function Openweresource() {
//alert(“function called”);
Xrm.Utility.openWebResource(“new_webpagename.html”);
}
the correct solution will be not add the .html.
correct solution is like:
function Openweresource() {
//alert(“function called”);
Xrm.Utility.openWebResource(“ssc_Account_Wastecarrrier”);
}
