robertd18 · Sep 7, 2003

hi i have a redirection script that works on IE5 but not on IE6 here is the code:

if(confirm("Thanks! Click Cancel to report&quot

)
{
parent.location='

http://some.html';

}
else
{
parent.location='

http://other.html';

}

Works fine for me - IE6 Win2K.

How are you calling this code?

robertd18 · Sep 7, 2003

hmm it doesnt work on my IE6 but that doesnt mean it doesnt work on all IE6

var enable = true;
function fUnload() {
if (enable) {
if(confirm.....

if they click a button the fUnload doesnt run,
but if they refresh the page it runs

Ok... but how are you calling the code? Is it called via the button's onclick attribute? The body's onunload attribute? The form's onsubmit attribute?

The code is fine... if it runs on IE6 it runs on IE6... assuming of course, that you haven't switched JavaScript off in your browser. The answer to your problem probably lies in how the code is being executed (or not executed).

if a button is clicked, the code is not called, or
the onclick event is false, but if the page is refreshed
without the button click its true

OK, remeber that I'm only trying to help, but what code are you using to trigger this function?

For example, does your button code look like:
<input type="button" onclick="runSomeFunction()">

Does your body tag look like:
<body onunload="runSomeFunction()">

If you post the code you are using then it will be much easier to see where you've gone wrong.

<body onunload="function"> thanks for being so helpful

robertd18 · Sep 7, 2003

here is the actual code

<SCRIPT>
var enable = true;
function fUnload() {
if (enable) {
if(confirm("Thanks.....! Click Cancel to.....&quot

)
{
parent.location='

http://www....';

}
else
{
parent.location='http.....';
}
}

<body onUnload="fUnload()">
}

Ok, from the looks of things there could be a couple of problems:
[tt]
<SCRIPT>
var enable = true;
function fUnload() {
if (enable) {
if(confirm("Thanks.....! Click Cancel to.....&quot

) {
[ignore]parent.location='

http://www....';

[/ignore]
}
else {
[ignore]parent.location='http.....';[/ignore]
}
}
} //You make sure all the braces match up
</script> 
</head> 
<body onUnload="fUnload()">
...[/tt]

Now that we have that more-or-less sorted... what is this 'button' that you keep referring to? If you just put a button on the page it won't do anything, there needs to be some code behind it.
