Topic awaiting preservation: Help on validating the confirm() function in Javascript (Page 1 of 1)

I am trying to validate the confirm() funtion to return true in OK button is clicked in to return false if CANCEL button is clicked. i do not know how to refer to the OK or CANCEL button... Here

function comfirmDel(userForm){

confirm("Are you sure you want to Delete this Object?\nNote: This operation is not reversible.\nSelect Cancel if you do not want to Perform this Operation.");

userForm.btnDelete.focus();

}

.................... I intend to call the confirmDel(...) method in a form Below

<FORM name=update action='servlet/dmsDelUser' method=post onsubmit="return comfirmDel(this)">

The confirm() function itself returns true or false based on which button the user clicks (OK -> true, Cancel -> false).

Simply

return confirm(...);


 

i tried doing some thing like....

<FORM name=update action='servlet/dmsDelUser' method=post onsubmit="Javascript:confirm('Are you sure you want to Delete this Object?\nNote: This operation is not reversible.\nSelect Cancel if you do not want to Perform this Operation.')">

..... But No mater what button i click, it still submits the Form!

Help Thanks..

Change yor onsubmit to this:

onsubmit="return(confirm('Are you sure you want to Delete this Object?\nNote: This operation is not reversible.\nSelect Cancel if you do not want to Perform this Operation.'));">

Hope this helps,
Dan
