submit form using a function and a confirm box

btopenworld

I am submitting a form using an image as the link to a js file.
The image calls a js function which checks fields- issuing alerts for
errors - if no errors it then submits the form.
I would like to have a final confirm box run from the function before the
form is submitted.
I guess I would have to use the return statement somehow but I can't see
quite how.
Any help gratefully accepted

John

A simple

<form onsubmit="if (formValidated( )) return confirm('Submit form?'); else
return false"....>

should to do it.

thanks - could you tell me what the end of the validation script does - at
the moment it is submitting the form - document.form1. submit() - this seems
to bypass the onsubmit part of the form. I can't use a normal submit button
because I am using an image to trigger the submission

thanks

Or maybe:-

Yes, you're right...

Is the onsubmit called if the form is submitted via a function?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
