I'm not sure what getConfirm is, but this is the way I would do it:

onclick="if(confirm('do you want to logout?')) window.location('logout.asp');"

Hope that helps,

not work

it doesn't work

<a href="" onclick="if(confirm('do you want to go?')) window.location('logout.htm');">go</a>

or

<input type="button" value="go" onclick="if(confirm('do you want to go?')) window.location('logout.htm');"/>

thank you for helping

Whoops, I wasn't paying attention to the syntax! Just copying and pasting....

This one should do it then:

<input type="button" value="go" onclick="if(confirm('do you want to go?')) window.location.href='logout.htm';"/>

location isn't a method, so that didn't make sense.

Hope that works!

Just to confirm, what wasn't working?

Was the confirm box showing up, but it just wasn't taking you to the right page? In that case, my post should fix that.

If the confirm box wasn't even showing up, then we've got a different problem (not sure what it is though....).

yes the box is shown ... but if I click yes I get an error

thx !

It does not

function goConfirm(title,link)
{
if (confirm(title)==true)
return true;
window.location=link;
else
return false;
}


<input type='button' value='go' onclick="goConfirm('Do you want to go ?','index.htm');" />

this code does not work .. why ?

thank you

You are exiting the function before you actually change the location. Try this:

function goConfirm(title,link) {
	if(confirm(title)) {
		window.location = link;
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}

Hope that helps!

Happy coding!

try adding some braces, also, you may have your return statement too soon.

<script type="text/javascript">
function goConfirm(title, link){
   if(confirm(title) == true){
      window.location.href = link;
      return true;
   } else {
      return false;
   }
}
</script>


<input type='button' value='go' onclick="goConfirm('Do you want to go ?','index.htm');" />

Hope this works for you.

alert when link is onclick

Hi coders!

I was looking in the forum for a way to ask if the user really want to fallow the link that they are clicking on. But Im using extern file to du my funktion and want to separate HTML from my javaScript. I got inspirated with your suggestions and made this:

function init(){

document.getElementById("capoeira").onclick = "linkConfirm(Vill du fِlja lنnken?);"

function linkConfirm() {

	if (confirm(capoeira) == true){
		window.location.href = link;
		return true;
		}
			else {
				return false;
				}
				}

}
window.onload = init;

The link in my HTML:

<a href="http://www.capoeiras.se" name="capoeira">Se hemsidan</a>

What have I missed? And how can I make the code so I can put the same action when I add more links? Make an array?
