sseeley Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hello, can anyone help me with this Javascript? When I click cancel it still submits the form? function confirmSubmit() { var r=confirm("Please confirm you have updated the divisors correctly"); if (r==true) { submitOK = "true"; } else { submitOK = "false"; } if (submitOK == "false") { return false; } } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240198-straight-forward-java-script-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Have you tried simplifying it like: function confirmSubmit() { var r = confirm("Please confirm you have updated the divisors correctly"); if(r != true) { return false; } return true; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240198-straight-forward-java-script-not-working/#findComment-1233800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
