If only it were that simple... The problem is that when the form is
submitted using form.submit()
Avoid submitting forms using JavaScript. If at all possible, use a regular
submit button and perform any tests using the onsubmit event.
<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction() {
if (condition1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
</script>
<form action="foo" onsubmit="return myFunction()">
<input type="submit">
</form>

Home is where the ~/.bashrc is
The above suggestion works, however, whichever button I click now, Yes or
No, the form submits anyway...
Here's the code I'm using:
*** form.html ***
<html>
<head>
<title>New Record</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function confirm_action() {
confirm_text = confirm("Are You Sure?");
if (confirm_text) {
alert("Action Confirmed. Click OK To Continue...");
}
else {
alert("Action Cancelled.");
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="process.php" onSubmit="confirm_action();">
<p><input type="text" name="product_code" size="8"> <input
type="submit" name="new_record" value="Insert Information"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
*** process.php ***
<?php
$new_record = $_POST["new_record"];
if ($new_record) {
$product_code = $_POST["product_code"];
if (!$product_code) {
echo "<p>No product code was specified. Please go back and type in a product
code.</p>";
}
else {
// Connect to MySQL server and insert product code into database.
header("Location: form.html");
}
}
else {
echo "<p>This file cannot be accessed directly.</p>";
}
?>
The above code, submit's the form whatever the user selects...
