Input box and pop-up window....

[mini_dumbo]

our last post was pushed so far down the list that we thought we might as well start a new thread...

anyway..... somebody please help us... !!!

Is it possible to use javascript (as in without relying on php) to achieve the following effect:

Say you have an input box, and the user types something in it and is prompted with a pop-up window with buttons "yes", "no" and "cancel", asking if he/she wants to save the changes... if user clicks yes, pop-up window will close and user will be returned to parent window with text in input box unchanged(i.e. origial text from inbox PLUS extra stuff typed in by user) , but if user clicks no, pop-up window will also close but instead of the previous case, only the original text(whatever was in it before user types anything) will remain in the box. We managed to do the "yes" case with some php codes but we're too much of a newbie in everything that we were so stuck from that point... so we're just wondering if it's possible to do the above problem entirely in javascript....

Any help would be appreciated!!

Greetings! There is a certain way I know that you can use in javascript to accomplish your goal. It might not be what you are looking for, but I hope it leads you in the general direction.

There is a method called "window.confirm()". What this does is pop-up a little message box asking if the user does/does not want to do your action. So, if your action is for the user to save their settings, this might work for you. Plus, this is entirely in Javascript :D

Hope this helps!

thanks for ur help but we did consider using the confirm box however our requirement is to have a box with THREE buttons: "yes", "no" and "cancel", we got around to doing that by adding a new pop-up window, as we said in first post, most basic things worked (pop-up window links back to parent window, "yes" case works) but we're only stuck on "no" case now.... :(

We'll be greatful for any extra help!! :cool:

I suppose the confirm box wouldn't work. Sorry :( I completely forgot that you wanted THREE options. Ooops! Anyway, if I come across something, I'll definitely let you know. Good Luck!
