Need To Cancel A Javascript Alert/confirm Box
Jul 23, 2005
A description of the problem:
1) Go to a page with various settings and a timeout (forces re-login
if over 10 minutes)
2) Before the timeout, make some changes to settings.
3) Press a "reset to defaults" button that uses a confirmation box to
let the user know what is about to be reset (lists items).
4) Walk away while the confirm box is displayed and come back after
the page timeout.
5) My screen now has the page, a confirm popup on top of that, and a
timeout alert on top of that.
6) Press OK to dismiss the timeout alert. The underlying page goes to
the login screen, but the confirm box remains.
How can I clear any javascript alert/confirm popups in this situation
automatically?

I'm pretty sure after reading this board and many like it that it is
impossible to change the ok, ok/cancel buttons that appear by default
in the alert and confirm javascript dialogs. Now for question one why
not? And question two why do they still say ok and ok/cancel when
viewed in a non-english browser install?
I have installed Chinese IE 6.0 and these buttons still say Ok/Cancel.
the rest of the browser (buttons, menus, etc...) is in Chinese except
for these two stupid buttons. No one final question, whould having a
reginonal OS installed make any difference. Right now I'm using an
English OS but with the Chinese browser mentioned above.

I've found articles/posts on creating custom confirm pops utilizing hidden <div> etc,
but adding 40 odd lines of code just to offer Yes or No buttons seems absurd.
Short of creating a complete confirmation div and script, is it possible
to EASILY change the button values of a confirmation pop-up?
For Example, "There is a related value not selected in the form.
Would you like to select it now?"

I have been using a javascript confirm function for when a person clicks a certain link.
The confirm gives two options: OK or Cancel.
Can I change these options? I want 'Delete' or 'Keep'
Possible?

I have an popup which is an aspx page and when I click on browser close button..., the system should check if there is any unsaved data in the form or not. If there is any unsaved data then the message should be displayed (Do you want to leave..?) with OK and Cancel button... On click of the OK button, the data should not be saved and the user should be returned parent form ie popup should be closed and return to the parent form. On click of the cancel button, the control should return to the Pop.
I had tried the below code...
window.onbeforeunload = close;
function close() {
var result=confirm("Do you really want to close this window");
if (result) {
return true;
} else {
location.href = document.URL;
}}
The above code is not working i.e. the popup is getting closed even on click of close button....
and when clicked on OK it is displaying another msgbox with leave this page and Stay on this page buttons...

I want to give a warning to user when she tries to navigate away from the page. So I am using a 'Confirm' dialogue. Pressing cancel should stop her from leaving the page.
This is my function which is called from the onUnload of the body tag of the page. code...
When I click on 'Cancel' button (part of the form within the same page), then this code is called and if I press cancel in the dialogue, user stays on same page.
However, I press any outside link, which takes user to some other page, then pressing cancel in the dialogue doesn't stop user moving away from the page.

This confirm alert works except I want when the user clicks on OK that the newwindow.html page loads.
onClick="if(confirm('Are you sure you want to exit?'))alert('The program is still running in the Taskbar...');location='../newwindow.html' target='_blank'else alert('YOu chose not to leave - good!')"
That bit in red doesn't seem to do the trick. Neither does document.location.

I am working on a PHP web application for my company and have run into a problem with Javascript. In a list I am displaying from a Mysql database, I have the option to delete certain entries. Before someone deletes an entry though, I want them to have an alert box pop up and asked then if they are sure. I have this simple javascript function in the head of the page, but whether cancel or ok are pressed, the page refreshes to the link. How can I fix it so that if you press cancel, nothing happens, other then the alert box goes away, but also allows the link to process if OK is pressed?
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_confirm(){
var r=confirm("Press a button!");
if (r==true){
alert("You pressed OK!");
}else{
alert("You pressed Cancel!");
}}
</script>

This is a weird one and I am wondering if someone can help?
I have a piece of Javascript
function deleteRequest(searchID) {
if (confirm('Are you sure?')){
location = "index.php?spDB=inactive&searchID="+searchID;
}
}
When the page gets reloaded, it runs a database query and something is
made inactive.
The problem is:
When the confirm box appears, if I press OK quickly, the database query
doesn't happen. If I wait 1 second and then press OK, it is fine and
the query is run.
Basically it appears that the time between the confirm javascript
appearing and the time taken to press the Ok button affects the
reloading of the page.
Has anyone else had an issue like this?

I have created a form with two submit button “Delete and Edit” in the form I have a javascript code, that displays a confirm box when the delete button is clicked, clicking on cancel should stop the execution of the delete script and ‘ok’ should run the script. Now, using the form this way works perfectly in Mozilla fireworks, but IE posing a problem when I click on cancel, it still executes the delete script.
<form method="post" action="eddel.php" >
<input type="submit" value="delete" name="delete" onclick=”return confirm(‘are you sure you want to delete record?’)”;>
<label>
<input name="edit" type="submit" value="edit" />
</form>

I have never done any javascript at all but I think it can do what I want with ease.
Basically at the moment I have a link that calls a delete script written in php. The delete script just deletes and item from my mysql database. What I would like is a popup to appear when the link is clicked that asks for the user to confirm they wish to delete.
Could anyone either show and example or point me to a site that may have a tutorial or something.

I currently have the follwoing javascript function: Code:
/**
* ask question, if true goto X
*/
function watsConfirmAction( question, letsgoto )
{
// ask question
if ( confirm( question ) )
{
// on YES goto location
location.href = letsgoto;
}
}
which is used as follows:
HTML Code:
<a onClick="watsConfirmAction('ask question', 'some URL')">link</a>
If a user doesn't have javascript, for whatever reason, this will fail to send them anywhere. is there a better way of doing this to allow for javascript non compliant browsers?

Hi, I have this JavaScript, which I only want to occur if a user clicks on a
hyperlink hotspot in a large image:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var answer = confirm ("This link is not available, click OK to load a
similar link, or Cancel to not.")
if (!answer)
window.location="http://www.yahoo.com/"
// -->
</script>
To make matters more challenging, there are about 10 hotspots in the image,
and I want them each to have a different value for window.location. I.e. if
the user clicks OK in each hotspot, each one will redirect them to a
different site.

I have a form that uses javascript for validation and cost calculating to place an order.
If someone has their javascript disabled, they will be able to submit the form, but without the cost figures showing up.
I want to prevent the user from submitting the form, but alert them that they need to enable JS to fill in/submit the form?
Is this possible? What do I need?

I'm sure there's a way to accomplish this...without continually beating my head against my keyboard. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
How do I add a hyperlink within a JavaScript alert box? And how would I add a mailto link within a JavaScript alert box? I've read the post a few below mine with the response being to use a DIV instead. How would I do that?

So, basically, I need to detect whether an alert window was thrown. I can't find where it's thrown from but I need to disable a button only if there were no alert windows thrown.
