[SOLVED] Popup dosent work in IE

[Ell20]

Hey

 

I have the following code on a drop down box so show a popup warning if the bottom option is selected. It works fine in Mozilla but in IE it dosent appear to do anything at all:

 

<select name="acctype">
	  <option selected="selected" disabled="disabled" value="">Select Account Type</option>
	  <option value="day">1 Day Account (<?=$interest?>%)</option>
	  <option value="week" onClick="return confirm('Putting your money in a 1 week account means you cannot withdraw\n any cash until the week has passed.\nAre you sure you want to do this?');">1 Week Account (<?=$newinterest?>%)</option>
	  </select>

 

Thanks for help with this.

Try it like this:

<select name="acctype" onchange="if (this.value=='week') return confirm('Putting your money in a 1 week account means you cannot withdraw\n any cash until the week has passed.\nAre you sure you want to do this?');">
	  <option selected="selected" disabled="disabled" value="">Select Account Type</option>
	  <option value="day">1 Day Account (<?=$interest?>%)</option>
	  <option value="week">1 Week Account (<?=$newinterest?>%)</option>
	  </select>

There is no onclick event for the option object. Mozilla allows it for some reason (apparently), but it is not the standard.
