javascriptjqueryfunctionconfirm

Javascript - confirm() inside a jquery .click() function


I have the following

$("element").click(function() {
  var foo=bar;
  if ( foo == "bar" ) {
   confirm('Dialogue');
  }
});

But I would like to bool the confirm function. I've already tried

$("element").click(function() {
  var foo=bar;
  if ( foo == "bar" ) {
    var confirm=confirm('Dialogue');
    if (confirm==true) {
      alert('true');
    } else {
      alert('false');
    }
  }
});

But no confirmation box is generated. How can I accomplish this?


Solution

  • You have a few issues. First issue is you are defining a variable with the name confirm. Not good! Rename it to isGood or something else.

    The other bug is right here:

    if (confirm=true) {
    

    confirm=true is assignment, not a comparison.

    It needs to be

    if (confirm==true) {
    

    or just

    if (confirm) {
    

    So your code would be something like

    var bar = "bar";
    $("button").click(function() {
      var foo=bar;
      if ( foo == "bar" ) {
        var isGood=confirm('Dialogue');
        if (isGood) {
          alert('true');
        } else {
          alert('false');
        }
      }
    });
