Javacript inside onClick event 1

[tmcneil]

I have some javascript written inside the onClick event of a button of an asp page.

onClick='if (!checkSpelling(message)) alert ("User clicked cancel!");' "Submit('Generate');"

The if statement works fine by itself, however, my Submit('Generate'); never gets called. The Submit('Generate'); used to run fine by itself. Is there something wrong with my syntax?

It was a problem with your choice of quotes. This ought to work as expected:

<div onclick="if (!checkSpelling(message)) alert('User clicked cancel!');Submit('Generate');">...</div>

Cheers,

BabyJeffy,

The syntax fixed the problem. Now onto making sure my Generate does not get called if the user cancelled the spellchecker.

Thanks,
