I have some javascript that puts up a confirm box. after the confirm box, depending on if they selected ok/cancel I display a alert.

under ie this works fine, under the latest firefox 1.5.0.7. I get the box and then it seems to exit and does not get to the alert.

any ideas?

if (confirm("Are you sure you wish to APPROVE this property?") == false)
{
alert('said no');
return;
}

alert('said yes');

try this..
Code: 
if (!confirm("Are you sure you wish to APPROVE this property?"))
{
  alert('said no');
    return;
}        
else{alert('said yes');}

how about the long way..
Code: 
var answer = confirm("Are you sure you wish to APPROVE this property?");

if(answer == 0){
  alert("said no");
    return false;
}        
else{alert("said yes");
    return true;}

anything's possible. more than likely has to do with your javascript. this worked perfectly for me in IE and firefox:

Code: 
<script type="text/javascript"><!--

if ( !confirm( 'blah?' ) ) {
    alert('did not say yes');
} else {
    alert('said yes');
}

//--></script>

so i have a feeling something else is happening that you aren't expecting.

        alert('said no');

that works. so it is not the confirm itself. but for the life of me, I can not figure out why it is dropping out of my code. thanks

Check the Javascript console in Firefox to see if it catches any errors.

If you have the code posted at a URL, give us that, or at least provide more of your JS so we can see what's going on. Be sure to copy and paste, don't type it in fresh.
