Dialog Box - OK CANCEL

[LucyL]

Hi,
I am pretty new to javascript and am unsure of the syntax of the following...I have a LOGOUT link that when clicked I want to open a dialog box which asks the user if they are sure they want to exit, and they are given the options of OK or Cancel. Can you do this using javascript? I'm not sure how to do this - any ideas?
Thank you.

Use the confirm function. It returns a boolean value so you can use it in an if statment. Here's the structure of how it's used:

if (confirm("Are you sure?")) {
   alert ("You clicked OK");
}
else {
   alert ("You cliked Cancel");
}

Hi

I am pretty new to JS also. But over thelast few weeks with a lot of hard work and extraordinary help from people like Kaht, I have learned a lot.

Here is something I have, that may help you.

<form .... onsubmit="return(confirm("are you sure you want to logout?"));"

It's always in the details.

I use this on one of my pages for a link not in a form.

     <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
        <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
      function logoutYesNo() 
      {
         if ( confirm("Want to log off"))
          {
             top.location.href = "WhereYouWantThem.htm";
          }
      }
    </SCRIPT>
<a style ="cursor:hand; text-decoration : underline;"  onClick = "logoutYesNo()"> Link</a>

Hope this helps

OOps I used the code on a frame site you don't need top.location.href = you just need location =
