calling vbscript subroutine on form submit

[thebloke]

Guys

I want to call a vbscript sub which asks the user to cofirm something when they hit the form submit button. At the moment, the onclick attribute calls document.frm.submit(); however I want to ask the customer to confirm their action before submitting the document.

I know how to do this in vb but not in javascript. I'd prefer to use vbscript than javascript as I am more familiar with vb but I don't know how to call the sub from this onclick event.

Any ideas?!

Cheers

Try in the html declaration of your button following thing:

<asp:button id="myID" onClick="call your script" runat="server" />

in the codebehind you have your this document.frm.submit() standing. Normaly first the script will be called and then your code-behind.
I'm not 100% sure but I've done this in my website and it is working fine

Hi,

do this...

<script language="Javascript">
function submitbutton() {

if (confirm("are you sure")) = "true" then
document.frm.submit()
end if
}
</script>

The for is to have no submit button, jsut a hidden button with a name and value then

<%

if request("hiddenname") <> "" then

do something

end if
%>

try that, and happy days..

Sorry, been away sunning myself in the Costa Blanca....

Currently have this:

function confirmSubmit()
{
var agree = confirm("Are you sure you wish to continue?");
if (agree)
document.frm.submit();
//return true;
else
return false;
}

I'm calling this from an a href tag:

<a href='#' onclick='return confirmSubmit()'>Proceed</a>

with the form header:

<form name="frm" method="post" action="process.asp">

Seems to work ok now, thanks.
