Onclick script question

bryanfl100 · Dec 2, 2005

In the java code below is there a way that if someone clicks on the 'Order Now' link it pops up and alert saying "Please call us to order." if only the following happens:

1. The data in the hyperlink is not "Dell"

The java code is: <A HREF="javascript

rderNow('computers.id%3D$data[computers.id]')" class="ordernow">Order Now</A>

Code:

<script>
function popup()
	{
		alert("please call to order");
	}
</script>
<html>


<button onClick="javascript:popup();"> call to order </button>
<html>

You can call the function popup in when you call

Code:

"javascript:orderNow('computers.id%3D$data[computers.id]')"

Is this what your looking for?

I don't know the answer but my good friend Google does.

no.

change your anchor tag to something like this:

Code:

<A HREF="#" onclick="if(this.innerHTML.indexOf('Dell')>-1)orderNow('computers.id%3D$data[computers.id]');return false;" class="ordernow">

it might be better for you to modify your orderNow function though.

Hummm... the script did not work. Is there something I am missing?

cLFlaVA · Dec 2, 2005

let's do this again.

Code:

<a href="#" onclick="dispatch('computers.id%3D$data[computers.id]',this.innerHTML); return false;">

Code:

function dispatch(s,t) {
    // if Dell shows up, don't redirect
    if ( t.indexOf('Dell')>-1 ) {
        alert('call us');
    } else {
        orderNow(s);
    }
}

For some reason it does not popup an alert box saying 'call us' and the URL only shows a # sign and does not insert the data in the actual URL. Seems to be closer though

my misunderstanding. i apologize. try this:

Code:

function dispatch(s) {
    // if Dell shows up, don't redirect
    if ( s.indexOf('Dell')>-1 ) {
        alert('call us');
    } else {
        orderNow(s);
    }
}

Code:

<a href="#" onclick="dispatch('computers.id%3D$data[computers.id]'); return false;">Order Now</a><br />

Excellent script! The only thing I see is this:

1. dispatch needs to be orderNow for example:
onclick="orderNow('computers.id%3D$data[computers.id]');

2. The alert was on 'Dell' and what I needed was the alert to be on everything else but 'Dell'

Thanks for the assistance so far!

1) no, i wrote another function to handle it. that's what the dispatch function does.

2) just do this:

Code:

function dispatch(s) {
    // if Dell does not show up, redirect
    if ( s.indexOf('Dell')>-1 ) {
        orderNow(s);
    } else {
        alert('call us');
    }
}
