Buttons added onload on form in JScript don't work properly in Dynamics crm 2013

Here is the original code sample : 

function create_button_from_textattribute(fieldname, buttontext, buttonwidth, clickevent) {
    functiontocall = clickevent;
    crmForm.all[fieldname].DataValue = buttontext;
    crmForm.all[fieldname].readOnly = true;
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.borderRight = "#3366cc 1px solid";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.paddingRight = "5px";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.borderTop = "#3366cc 1px solid";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.paddingLeft = "5px";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.fontSize = "11px";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.backgroundImage = "url(/_imgs/btn_rest.gif)";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.borderLeft = "#3366cc 1px solid";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.width = buttonwidth;
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.cursor = "hand";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.lineHeight = "18px";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.borderBottom = "#3366cc 1px solid";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.backgroundRepeat = "repeat-x";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.fontFamily = "Tahoma";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.height = "20px";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.backgroundColor = "#cee7ff";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.textAlign = "center";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].style.overflow = "hidden";
    crmForm.all[fieldname].attachEvent("onmousedown", push_button);
    crmForm.all[fieldname].attachEvent("onmouseup", release_button);
    crmForm.all[fieldname].attachEvent("onclick", functiontocall);
}

After the migration in Dynamics Crm 2013, the readOnly and DataValue properties don't work anymore.

I've tried a way around with this sample :

function create_button_from_textattribute(fieldname, buttontext, buttonwidth, clickevent) { 

   var btn = '<button id="btn_' + fieldname + '" ' + 
                    ' style="width:' + buttonwidth + '" ' + 
                    ' class="ms-crm-Button" ' + 
                    ' onmouseover="Mscrm.ButtonUtils.hoverOn(this);" ' + 
                    ' onmouseout="Mscrm.ButtonUtils.hoverOff(this);" ' +
                '>' + buttontext + '</button>';

 var ctrl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(fieldname)._control;
 ctrl.get_element().innerHTML += btn;
 ctrl.get_element().firstChild.style.display = 'none';

 Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('new_btnmaj').setLabel('');
 ctrl.get_element().childNodes[1].attachEvent('onclick', clickevent);

But I get an undefined element error for the line Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(fieldname)._control

Any idea or lead bout the way to make it work?

You can get efficient code for making a button on crm form. It works on both CRM 2011 as well as CRM 2013.

I hope you know that changes in the DOM are not supported on CRM forms.

Setting the value of an attribute can be done by the 'Xrm.Page.data.entity Attribute Methods' (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334409.aspx) Setting a attribute readonly can be done by the 'Xrm.Page.ui Control Methods' (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334266.aspx)
