For a simple form with an alert that asks if fields were filled out correctly, I need a function that does this:
Shows an alert box when button is clicked with two options:
I think a JavaScript confirm would work but I can't seem to figure out how.
The code I have now is:
function show_alert() {
alert("xxxxxx");
}
<form>
<input type="image" src="xxx" border="0" name="submit" onclick="show_alert();" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" value="Submit">
</form>
A simple inline JavaScript confirm would suffice:
<form onsubmit="return confirm('Do you really want to submit the form?');">
No need for an external function unless you are doing validation, which you can do something like this:
<script>
function validate(form) {
// validation code here ...
if(!valid) {
alert('Please correct the errors in the form!');
return false;
}
else {
return confirm('Do you really want to submit the form?');
}
}
</script>
<form onsubmit="return validate(this);">
