[Java Script] Confirm Box

**Inuyasha1782** · Aug 21st, 2005, 11:54 PM

Well I am basiclly brand new to Java script, but I don't really plan on getting all that into since I am only looking for a few things. Anyways I read a quick tut got most of the basic syntax down and now I am wondering a few things.

I read up on the confirm box and how it's used. Basicly it returns a True or False value depending on the "Okay" or "Cancel" button clicked.

Well here is what I want to do. I have a form where the user inputs data, and submits it. When the Submit button is hit, I want a Confirm box to appear that asks if the user agree's with the Disclaimer or not. That would be using the "OnClick" event within the Submit type. Then I would simply tell it to call the Java script up from the header.

So I got that down, and the script would just be the confirm, and one more thing. How would I check if the answer was true or false, and then compare and do something with an if stament. Like use an If statment to check if it was true/false. Also, how would I stop the submit button from submitting the form if it was false, and let it continue if it was true.

That's basicly all, know it's kind of simple, but thanks in advanced

Hi,
like this?

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function conf()
{
	var quit = confirm("Some message here")
	// they clicked ok
	if(quit) return true;
	return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" onsubmit="return conf();">
Field 1:<input type="text" name="fld"><br>
Field 2:<input type="text" name="fld2"><br>
Field 3:<input type="text" name="fld3"><br>
<input type="submit" name="sub">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Yea okay made it fit thanks

One more thing, in the Confirm Box text, is there anyway to format the text? Like <br> just show's as plain text, how would I format it, or is it not possible?

If you mean line breaks then replace "Some message here" with "Some \n Message \n here"
