Pop Up Message Happens Twice???

[Wayniac]

I problem I am having is when the pop up message appears saying "Example Text". I have to click it twice for it to go away. The first time I click it, that activates the button to go to the URL stated. The second click just makes it go away. How do I merge these together so when I click "Ok", it simply goes to the specified URL?

 

Thank you

 

<script type="text/javascript">
function message() {
  if (message != 2) {
  alert("Example Text")
  }
}
</script>                                                 

<a href="javascript:message();"><input type="image" name="submit" border="0" src="http://www.example.com/buynow.png" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online"></a>

What is this?

if (message != 2)

That is causing it. You're calling the message function again in the function.

Thank you for replying F1, I tried as you said by removing the IF statement and nothing has changed. The IF statement was completely pointless to have in there, but also me removing it had no effect. It still prompts the user twice...

Nothing in that code alone should called alert() twice with only one click. Is this the entire code?

Nothing in that code will even cause a re-direct. The OP is showing us code that is entirely irrelevant to his problem.

Hi.. Try this.. Alert(Pop up) will be coming only one time..

 

<script type="text/javascript">

function message() {

  if (message != 2) {

  alert("Example Text");

  }

}

</script>                                               

 

<a href="#" onClick="return message();"><input type="image" name="submit" border="0" src="http://www.example.com/buynow.png" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online"></a>
