[SOLVED] confirmation OK or CANCEL has the same result in ALL cases ?

[programguru]

i am unable to get this function i created to work properly. no matter what option i choose OK or CANCEL, the same result happens! I've tried many options to no avail? Anyone have any idea what the h%$# is wrong here?

 

function confirmation() {
var answer = confirm("Go somewhere else?")
if (answer){
	alert("Ok bye!")
	window.location = "REDIRECT-TO-ANOTHERPAGE.php";
}
else {
	alert("Thanks for sticking around!");
	window.location = "SHOULD-STAY-THE-SAME-PAGE.php";
}
}

 

Here is the link and function call:

 

<a onclick="confirmation()" href="review_edit_special.php">Edit</a>

 

SOS!!

Looks like you were referring to tizag's tutorial on Confirm.  What's the point of calling the function on the href link?  Why don't you do a button?

Is it not possible to do an href link? I don't like clunky buttons, and the code was partly given to me from my brother, so I am not sure where it is all from.

<input type="button" onclick="confirmation()" value="Edit">

Look at this site Javascript Confirm().  They use href's is their examples, this should solve your problem.

I resolved the issue.

 

The script I was working with was overkill for my purposes.

 

I just created a function with one arg (address) and an if leading back to the address if canceled, and continuing to the new link if OK in the confirm.

 

Thanks for your help anyways..

 

SOLVED!!
