checkbox and frameset help needed!

[questhaven]

Hi there - I am trying to solve an issue. I am working on a page using frames (I know, it's the worst!) and I am trying to solve the following issue:

Ok - pretend that I am in the frame on the right side, and that there are checkboxes that were checked on that side have changed (these are being stored in arrays). However, rather then hitting submit, I hit a link on the left frame to go to a new page. I am trying to figure out a way to prompt/remind the user to hit submit and save the data in the right frame, before allowing them to change pages, but only if the checkboxes that were check have changed.

Does this even make sense? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi Michele,

So basically, you need a hidden control, a sort of Boolean FormHasBeenTouched control. If any changes are made in that frame, it sets the FormHasBeenTouched control. Ordinary navigation (such as via links or buttons) via your buttons and controls automatically checks the status of the FormHasBeenTouched control. If == 1, then you halt the naviagtion and pop up a warning window.

Make sense?

Cheers,


Edward
