javascript code for Msgbox("Save before Exit",vbYesNo)

[mb22]

Please help with Javascrip code to implement a Yes/No response from a Msgbox. Either case I still want to submit the form but do different processing depending on the answer.
(Confrim does NOT submit when you select Cancel, and Alert has only OK). Do I perhaps need a hidden field to store a value for the answer .. and then use a Case/Switch? I am newbie to Javascript.... please help with javascript code!!!!



If MsgBox("Save before Exit?",vbYesNo)="Yes" then
SaveRecord()
RetrieveNextRecord()
else
RetrieveNextRecord()
end if

if(!confirm(Save before Exit?'))
{
SaveRecord()
RetrieveNextRecord();
}
else
{
RetrieveNextRecord();
}

Actually, I think Tracey meant this:

if(confirm(Save before Exit?'))
{
SaveRecord()
RetrieveNextRecord();
}
else
{
RetrieveNextRecord();
}

The way Tracey had it, it would save the record if the user pressed Cancel and not save it if the user pressed OK.

Oooops....

The first line should read:

if(confirm('Save before Exit?'))

Thanks ..... but

SaveRecord()
RetrieveNextRecord()

are both Subs or functions in my code-behind file (myform.codebehind.vb) say! Will client side script be able to call these functions? I thought the code-behind file is not available to the client, it only remains on the server!

Or will this automatically SUBMIT the form in BOTH situations ... whether you answer "Yes" or "No" ? Hmm by the way will it be Yes/No or OK/Cancel? I want it to be Yes/No since I want to take action regardless of the answer.

Cheers

Yes/No will be the display buttons

I really dont know much about vb. I work with Delphi cgi/isapi

Are you using asp?

I would do something like:

if(confirm('Save?'))
  {
     window.location='[URL unfurl="true"]http://pathToApplication/appname.asp/saveandmove?save=yes[/URL]
   }
   else
   {   window.location='[URL unfurl="true"]http://pathToApplication/appname.asp/saveandmove?save=no[/URL]
   }

If that were the case, or I may be totally off on what you are doing...

Thank you Tracey .. that worked!

Is there a way to code the "Confirm" funtion to display a Yes/No combination ... instead of OK/Cancel which is the default?

Thanks again anyway!
