Prompt a user

[mrskumm]

Hi...

I want to promt the user if some information is correct or not, popping up a Yes/No box, and depending on their answers do certain things, but all I find is promt() confirm() etc... :(

yea. prompt() will get the user to enter in words, and confirm() will be a ok/cancel popup.

Sorry!! My mistake, confirm() was what I was looking for!

You're wondering how to use it? If so, view the following example:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var yesno = confirm ("Choose OK or Cancel","");
if (yesno == true)
{
alert ("OK was chosen");
}
else
{
alert ("Cancel was chosen");
}
</script>

And you can shorten that up quite a bit.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (confirm ('Choose OK or Cancel','')){alert ('OK was chosen')} else {alert ('Cancel was chosen')}
</script>

The reason I coded it the way that I did was because I figured that mrskumm would want to do more than a simple alert, so it is easier to view the code if you don't try to throw it all on one line... ;)
