confirm form 1

[glenmac]

I'm trying to give the user a chance to cancel a form submission.

<script language="JavaScript">
function chkForm() {
    if (confirm("Are you sure you want to send form?")) {
            submit();
        }
else return(false);
    }

</script>
...    
<FORM action = "test.htm" onsubmit = "chkForm(this)" >
    <input id="ID00" type="text" value="00"> <br />
    <input type="submit"  />

</FORM>

Must be too early and I'm a little fuzzy anyhow this doesn't work. Can anyone help? All help is much appreciated.

hey...

just want to bring up a point... don't use this as the be-all and end-all... if this is protecting sensitive information from being changed, you might want to implement a check on the server-side (like maybe displaying another page asking the user to confirm).

for example, if there's a link to delete a record, and the user has javascript disabled, then he/she won't get the javascript confirmation message.

just something to think about.
