I want to add a simple confirm, are you sure dialog when you click an asp:button which does postback. Something like:
OnClientClick="if(confirm('Format the hard disk?'))
alert('something');
else alert('something else')"
Problem is that whether you click ok or cancel it still posts back. How to make it so that it only posts back on OK?
If you're just looking to do a postback based on the selection from the confirmation dialog, this might be simpler:
OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure?');"
Also you can use next:
OnClientClick="return confirm('Delete this entity?');"
In short "....; return false;" stops the click, example below not using inline JS:
Markup:
OnClientClick="confirmSomething()";
JS Function:
function confirmSomething()
{
var result = confirm('Format the hard disk?');
if(result == 1)
{
alert('something');
return true; //continue click event
}
else if(result == 0)
{
alert('something else');
return false; //stop click event
}
}
you need to return the confirm instead.
see: http://rumandcode.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/javascript-confirm-on-aspnet-button/
Use return false.
OnClientClick="if(confirm('Format the hard disk?')) alert('something'); else {alert('something else'); return false;}"
