confirm 2

[TheConeHead]

How can I have it when someone cancels a confirm to not submit a form but when they say ok - then submit it?

I have an onsubmit function that calls the confirm but it submits it either way...

thanks

I think onsubmit would execute as soon as the submission was taking place, you have to intercept it before that, maybe use onclick and have code in there to check the status of the confirmation object and then submit directly from that function.

I am assuming you have some sort of check box to confirm a form and then a submit button? You could also possibly have it so that when the confirm is canceled, the submit button disappears/is disabled like with TOS when you install software.

Jaa.

You need to return the boolean value that the confirm box retuns in the onsubmit handler, like this:

onsubmit='[b]return[/b](confirm("Do you want to submit"))'

hmmm... perhaps I am doing something wrong... I am calling a validation function via onsubmit="return check();"

the function looks like"

function check() {
	if (document.all.forma.severity.value == "") {
		alert("Please select a severity.");
		document.all.forma.severity.focus();
		return false;
	} else if (document.all.forma.emailNotify.value != "") {
		confirm("Are you sure you wish to send an email to the email list?");
	}
}

but it still submits no matter what I pick....

document.all is ie. When run on nn/ff, it go strick to after if statement where nothing is specified for return. Effectively, it is
[tt] return undefined[/tt]
So I would predict that for nn/ff, it will submit no matter what.

For ie, in else if you have all the same to put return keyword there.
[tt]
} else if (document.all.forma.emailNotify.value != "") {
[red]return[/red] confirm("Are you sure you wish to send an email to the email list?");
[/tt]

what is the nn/ff alternative to document.all?

 

[tsuji]

If forma is the name of the form containing the element named emailNotify, then simply put
[tt]
document.forma.severity.value
document.forma.emailNotify.value
[tt]
at their corresponding place.

[TheConeHead]

should this work for IE too?

 

[tsuji]

It would.
