Confirm dialog box

[Tomislav]

Hello,

I need a method to create Dialog box in PHP to confirm an action like
for instance, sending an e-mail, so if "OK" is clicked action is
performed and if "Cancel" is clicked action is canceled.

I found some examples that are implementing "javascript:return
confirm()" function in "onSubmit" event of a form but none of such
methods is functioning (?).

Is there any way to do this in PHP ?

Thanks,

Tomislav

Not really. You can't open new windows in PHP.

Your best bet is javascript - it works, just ensure you have javascript
enabled. Or you can take them to a new "confirm" window. If they
confirm then continue. If they do not, return to the previous page.

Thank you for your quick response. Below is code snippet I use as
template to construct my own JavaScript code.

**

<form method="post" action="mail.php" onSubmit="javascript:return
confirm('Do you really want to send this order ?);">

**

When I include Submit button in this form form action should be
performed, e.g. "mail.php" should be executed. Only thing is that it is
executed directly without any confirm windows.

JS is enabled and browser is Firefox 2.0. What is more I frequently use
JS in my designs and this very site I am working on now has plenty of JS
included. That is a bit confusing - that code above does not work.

Did I miss something when I incorporated JS in form ?

Thanks,

Tomislav

Sorry, I don't know - I'm not that great on javascript. Try
comp.lang.javascript for javascript questions.

I usually catch the submit action from the submit button. Would you care
to see what that gives? The event procedure must cancel the default
action, cross-browser... let me look this one up... nah, return false
will do.

Does that help enough?

Yow, now I re-read your snippet, something strikes me: inside the inline
onsubmit definition, there is no need to put 'javascript:'. Maybe that
is all it takes.

For javascript, not PHP.

Does that help enough?

No.

Maybe that is all it takes.

Or, since this is javacript, maybe he needs to follow up in a javascript
newsgroup.

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.
