confirm(); 1

[gus121]

Hi I wish to have a confirmation box come up before subiting content of an HTML form.

ie. if Yes then submit.

ie. if False then don't submit.

Please can some one help?

regards

The Form:

<form name=&quot;form1&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; onSubmit=&quot;confirm_entry()&quot; >
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;Email_Importance&quot; value=&quot;<%= Email_Importance %>&quot;>

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;html_Email_Body&quot; value=&quot;<%=Server.HTMLEncode(html_Email_Body)%>&quot;>

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;Email_Body&quot; value=&quot;<%=Email_Body%>&quot;>

The Javascript:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--


winName = window.open(email,&quot;send_email&quot;

function confirm_entry()
{
input_box=confirm(&quot;Are You Sure? Email will be sent to all customers!&quot;
if (input_box==true)
{
email('about:blank');
f = document.forms[0];
f.target = winName;
f.action = 'email_control.asp?action=send';
f.submit();

}
}

-->
</script>

Sorry I use a different writing style from your example. I'm missing a bracket.

function confirm_entry()
{
if (confirm(&quot;Are You Sure? Email will be sent to all customers!&quot)
{
email('about:blank');
f = document.forms[0];
f.target = winName;
f.action = 'email_control.asp?action=send';
f.submit();

}
}

you also need to change
onSubmit=&quot;confirm_entry()&quot;

to
onSubmit=&quot;return confirm_entry()&quot;

=========================================================
try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }

Hi gph and jemminger. Thanks for your help. However I still have problems with this script.

In that it does not return properly even with the onSubmit=&quot;return confirm_entry()&quot; If you cancel. I get a blank page any ideas how to sort this out? The URL is still fine.

I also had to alter the code to get it to run (probably because I did not explain my self very well and i was attempting to coble together other peoples code). Is this OK?


function confirm_entry()
{
if (confirm(&quot;Are You Sure? Email will be sent to all customers!&quot)
{
location.href = 'about:blank';
f = document.forms[0];
f.action = 'email_control.asp?action=send';
f.submit();

}
}
-->
It also sent me 2 emails when I was expecting 1 from the next page script is this to do with the javascript.

Thanks again for your help.

this &quot;Submit&quot; button that u have what is its type?

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; (OR) <input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;Submit_The_Form&quot;>?

also try this:
function confirm_entry()
{
if (confirm(&quot;Are You Sure? Email will be sent to all customers!&quot)
{
location.href = 'about:blank';
f = document.forms[0];
f.action = 'email_control.asp?action=send';
f.submit();

}
else
return false;
}

Hi vbkris. Yes thanks that bit of extra code solved my cancel confirm problem if you follow me. thanks.

However the submit twice issue is a wierd one and it is definatly something 2 do with the javascript. As if i refresh the next page it only sends 1 e-mail. There is deffinatly no calls to any javascript functions from the submit button. As the button is just a plain old

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit email&quot; value=&quot;submit email&quot;>

thanks

change ur button to this:
<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;submit email&quot; value=&quot;submit email&quot;>

or remove f.submit() from the code...

I have got a feeling i have seen this before so I tested it on a colleages computer and it only submited it once with the (submit) button. weird with the same version of explorer.

I then tried removing //f.submit() you were right it works on both me and me colleages as it should.

thanks
