Preserved Topic: strange confirm behaviour (Page 1 of 1)

ok, i have a button which deletes a table, i have the following code in the input-tag:

onClick="if(confirm('Are you sure to delete this table?')) {document.editmenu.submit();}"

but no matter if i click on OK or on CANCEL the form gets submitted and the table deleted. am i doing anything wrong?

You must set input type to "button" (not "submit") if you want to use that code, like this:

<INPUT TYPE="button" onClick="if(confirm('Are you sure to delete this table?')) {document.editmenu.submit();}">

Yeah, the submit button submits the form unless its onclick event handler returns false. So you can also replace that with

onClick="if(confirm('Are you sure to delete this table?')) {return true;} else {return false;}"

I may have my true's and false's reversed, you may have to switch them around.

thank you guys. it worked!
