Want to have proceed and cancel options on an pop-up or alert box.

[kishore22]

Hi,
I need to open up a pop-up window or alert box, when an user clicks a link. I need to have two options on the alert box or pop-up window (Proceed and Cancel). If the user clicks the cancel button he will be on the same page, but if he clicks the proceed button he will redirect to other page.

thanx for help

Use standard confirm() dialog: it has 2 buttons on it (OK and Cancel - and you cannot change their text!), this is very simple:

function askAndGo(url)
{
if (confirm('Click OK to proceed to next page.'))
document.location.href = url;
}

And call it like this:
<a href=&quot;somepage.html&quot; onclick=&quot;askAndGo(this.href)&quot;>some page</a>
or
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;go to another one&quot; onclick=&quot;askAndGo('another.html')&quot;>

Alternativly, if you really want to have custom text... you can fake a pretty good alert using a popup (particularly in IE)... put something like this in the popup for a standard dialog style:

<style>
 BODY{ background-color: buttonface;
       border: 0x;
       scrolling: no;}
</style>

&quot;No where in your entire rantings did you come anywhere close to what can be considered a rational answer. We are all now dumber from having heard that. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.&quot;
