Just to be clear, You want to show alert upon change in value of a Select field.
Go through the dialogs documentation.
https://frappe.io/docs/user/en/guides/app-development/dialogs-types
Make a custom script, trigger the dialog on change of the select field.

@saeedkola thanks for the fast replay but this is not what i am asking i am sorry my question dot conveyed what i want to ask

what i want is

if a doctype has workflow attached to it

i will have a button named action

in that action button it will has various status like approve,reject

when i click approve i want to do some logic like show a alert(“hello you clicked approved”)

I think below code may solve your purpose. In below example, I have written the code for Item DocType where when workflow state is Approved then it will display a message Approved. So, you can play around with this.

frappe.ui.form.on("Item", "validate", function(frm) {
if (frm.doc.workflow_state=="Approve")         
   {  
    frappe.msgprint("Approve Clicked");
   }
else if (frm.doc.workflow_state=="Reject")         
   {  
    frappe.msgprint("Reject Clicked");
   }
});

@ruchin78 your answer is good but; if @shahid_ecit used the logic below may will be better because the workflow_state may not equal the “approve” or “reject” itself it may contains it in the string such as approved by HR Manager or rejected by HR Manager so to search a substring in the workflow_state may be better.

frappe.ui.form.on(“Item”, “validate”, function(frm) {
if (frm.doc.workflow_state.indexOf(“approve”) != -1)
{
frappe.msgprint(“Approve Clicked”);
}
else if (frm.doc.workflow_state.indexOf(“reject”) != -1)
{
frappe.msgprint(“Reject Clicked”);
}
});

frappe.ui.form.on('You Doctype', {
    refresh: function(frm) {
        frm.add_custom_button(__('Approve'), function(){
            frappe.confirm(
                'Are you sure to Approve?',
                function(){
                    ///this will run upon YES click
                },
                function(){
                    // this will run on NO click
                    window.close();
                }
            );
        },__("ACTIONS"));
        frm.add_custom_button(__('Reject'), function(){
            frappe.confirm(
                'Are you sure to Reject?',
                function(){
                    ///this will run upon YES click
                },
                function(){
                    // this will run on NO click
                    window.close();
                }
            );
        },__("ACTIONS"));

Hi @shahid_ecit
Try using these settings in your workflow,
Capture

Note : Doc status 1 = Submit & 2 = Cancel,
If you don’t want to recycle form after Rejection then these settings are perfect for your case.

@shahid i want to recycle rejected doc and this is not what i ment

what i want is i want a js code that will look like this

$('.class_of_button').click(function(){
     alert("you have clicked it");
});

@saeedkola you said the way i wanted but one difference is i dont want to add new button named actions but when we add a workflow to a doctype there will be a action button so i dont want to create it but in that action there will be state that we specified in workflow for example

in the image added by @shahid there is 3 state

pending, approved.Rejected

so if take the relevaent doctype it will have a actions button dropdown with 3 values in it like

above
image

form above image i just added only approve state but if i had added the other two states

pending,Rejected

i will have other two states in the above image.

and what i wanted is when i click that approve or rejected or pending

i need to show a alert that says you clicked the approve if approve.

i hope now i am clear

@shahid_ecit Create field in your doctype with named “status” with field type Select & put your all Workflow states in its option.
and put that field name in workflow like below
Capture

& use js like

frappe.ui.form.on("Your Doctype",
{
        status: function(frm){
        	my_fun(frm);
        }
});
var my_fun = function(frm)
{
        if(frm.doc.status == "Approved"){
                       frappe.msgprint("This is Approved");
             }
        else if(frm.doc.status == "Rejected"){
                       frappe.msgprint("This is Rejected");
             }
}

Hope this will help.

@shahid i want to change the workflow_state programitically based on other parameters thats why i want to catch click event of the state variable.
