Hi!

I have an alert box that pops up when the user submits a form.
it asks the user a question (if a certain field is NOT filled in).

If they click 'YES', i want the focus to go to that form element.

If they click 'NO', the form continues normally.

How do I check if the 'YES' as been clicked on?

THANKS!!!

Try something like this:


function Clicked(Clicked){
return Clicked;
}
var Button = document.getElementById("Your Buttons ID here");
Button.onclick = Clicked(true);
if (Clicked()){
window.alert("Button Clicked!");
}



Hope that helps,

thanks, but i am unclear how to use that.

i have this:

if (((f.username1dir.value==null) || (f.username1dir.value=="")) && (!f.homedir1.checked))
{
alert("If the terminated user had computer access, you must indicate what you would like to do with their Home Directory.\r\nDid the user have computer access?");
}

I was thinking i could check for the YES being clicked here, with a return true or false type thing, then put in the focus() part after.

Sorry, I was thinking of an element button from a form.

From alert boxes you can never tell weather they click "ok" or "cancel".

REALLY?? i thought a 'true' or 'false' is returned.

Oh well, do you know of another way to do what I am trying?

Yes, try this code:


if (((f.username1dir.value==null) || (f.username1dir.value=="")) && (!f.homedir1.checked)){
var Confirmed = window.confirm("If the terminated user had computer access, you must indicate what you would like to do with their Home Directory.\r\nDid the user have computer access?");
if (Confirmed){
// Put what you like here if they click OK
}
if (!Confirmed){
// Put what you like here if they click Cancel
}
}




Hope that helps,

THANKS, I am using this:



if (((f.username1dir.value==null) || (f.username1dir.value=="")) && (!f.homedir1.checked)) || (((f.username1gw.value==null) || (f.username1gw.value=="")) && (!f.gw1.checked))
{
var Confirmed = window.confirm("If the terminated user had computer access, you must indicate what you would like to do with their Home Directory.\r\nIf the user had computer access, click CANCEL to return to the form. If the user did NOT have computer access, click OK.");
if (Confirmed){

}
if (!Confirmed){
return false;
}
}

You can shorten all of that to:

if ((!/\S/.test(f.username1dir.value) && !f.homedir1.checked) || (!/\S/.test(f.username1gw.value) && !f.gw1.checked) return window.confirm("If the terminated user had computer access, you must indicate what you would like to do with their Home Directory.\r\nIf the user had computer access, click CANCEL to return to the form. If the user did NOT have computer access, click OK.");
