confirm box 1

[teroy]

Hi there. When i want to use a confirm button using a form i do as follows

-----------------------------------------------------------
function checkform2()
{
// Uses a confirm box
var yes = self.confirm("Are you sure?"

return yes;

}

<FORM name=&quot;&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;&quot; onSubmit=&quot;return checkform()&quot;>

---------------------------------------------------------

If i wanted to do the same thing via a <a href> how would i go about doing it?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Teroy,

Try this,
<script>
function checkform2()
{
if (self.confirm(&quot;Are you sure?&quot)
document.MyForm.submit()
}
</script>

<FORM name=&quot;MyForm&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;somewhere&quot;>
<A href=&quot;javascript:checkform2()&quot;>something</a>
</form>

hope this helps,

yup it would nearly work.
Only problem is i don't use a <form> in my current scenario
The <a href> contains something like <a href=delete.cgi>Delete</a>

So..is there a way of combing the 2..?
ie delete.cgi and javascript:checkform2()
and not actually <a hrefing> to delete.cgi if checkform2() returns a negative value

Thanks!

Try this then..

<script>
if (self.confirm(&quot;Are you sure?&quot)
window.location.href=&quot;

oops..

In you case, it should be something like
<script>
if (self.confirm(&quot;Are you sure?&quot)
window.location.href=&quot;delete.cgi&quot;;
