Problem with Modal running Php code before display

I have a Modal control on a view record page..  So the button is located at the top of the record.

On the page design, I've attached a custom view under the button.  My hope was to run the code in the custom view when the button is clicked.  But the code is running whenever the record view page is loaded..

Is this normal?

Any suggestions welcome..

thanks!

@darbdenral‍ if your code executes when the page loads it means you wrote the code to execute whenever the page loads, this has nothing to do with custom view. please check that your code is as you want it to be.

Exactly, but I would have thought the code would not run until  after the button is clicked and the modal is displayed not when the main view page loads..

I was trying to avoid using a custom view but decided to go ahead and do it that way and it worked.

It would be nice to have the ability to link php or javascript code to a button event without sidestepping the design interface.

So, like drag a button  in the design interface and then add the onlclick action code..  Also adding an ID to the button may be beneficial too for jquery,javascript etc.
