Emulate 'Edit' button for Opportunity page

I want to add a validation before one user edit an opportunity.

I have created a new custom button and I want to show an alert and after it  open the opportunity in edit mode.

 

I have googled a lot of time and I don't find anything.

 

Any help in how to achive that?

 

 

Thanks,

Try this....

 

Create one Opportunity Detail button (javascript).

 

and add below code in javascript editor.

 

alert('Redirecting to edit page.'); //Give your validation message here.

window.location = location.protocol+'//'+location.host+'/{!Opportunity.Id}/e?retURL=/{!Opportunity.Id}';

 

Give name "Edit" to this button. Then add this button to page layout (remove standard edit button).
