how to navigate based on confirm answer 1

[muru]

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to navigate through frames based on confirmation result. In my left frame I have a list of link, now if I click on a link I use a javascript function to ask for confirmation from the user if he actually wants to leave the current page. If the user choose yes, I populate the link in the right frame, if not I leave the right frame alone where it was. Now I am able to to the first part of this but I am unable to achieve the second part. Can some one shed some light on this. Below is javascript function that I am using.

function confirmPDRSearch()
{
var ans = confirm ("Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?");
if(ans==true)
{
window.SideBar.target = "SearchPDR.aspx";
}
else
{
(I don't know how to handle the else part)
}
}


Thank you,
Muru

To do nothing, simply remove the "else {}"... so:

function confirmPDRSearch() {
   var ans = confirm('Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?');
   if(ans) window.SideBar.target = 'SearchPDR.aspx';
}

Hope this helps,
Dan

OK, then what would I declare in the HREF section for the link.....

<A HREF="SearchPDR.aspx" target="mainwindow" onclick ="confirmPDRSearch()">Search PDR</A>

Can I leave it blank and let the function decide on the URL?

How about this instead:

function confirmPDRSearch() {
   return(confirm('Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?'));
}

...

<a href="SearchPDR.aspx" target="mainwindow" onclick="return(confirmPDRSearch());">Search PDR</a>

You can use the same function call for all the links that way.

Hope this helps,
Dan
