Javascript TUTORIAL
Javascript Confirm Box
The Javascript confirm box differs from a regular alert box in that, it provides two choices for the user: 'OK' and 'CANCEL' to confirm or reject the request. The confirm statement takes a string that will be displayed with the text box along with the OK and the Cancel Button. In addition it will return a value. The returned value will be true if OK button is pressed. The returned value will be false if Cancel button is pressed. We can use a variable and an if statement to determine if the 'OK' or 'CANCEL' button is clicked..
Let us look at the example that simply displays a confirm box and diplays an alert box with a message "You said :OK" if the user presses OK button. It will display an alert box with a "You said : Cancel", if the user presses Cancel Button.
<html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- /* ******************************************************** Example confirm Box ******************************************************** */ var answer = confirm("Do you want continue ?"); if (answer) alert("You said: Ok"); else alert("You said: Cancel"); //--> </script> </body> </html> |

Confirm Box - Another Example - Directing to another link
Here is another example which displays a confirm box and asks user if he wants to get directed to another news link. If the user presses OK it takes to a news link.
<html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- /* ******************************************************** Example confirm box - directing to another link ******************************************************** */ var answer = confirm("Do you want to search something in google ?"); if (answer) window.location = "http://www.google.com"; else alert("You said: Cancel"); //--> </script> </body> </html> |
window.location makes you jump to another web link assigned to it.
