[SOLVED] "Are you sure" after clicking submit

[PirateBagel]

I have a large form, a few people keep hitting "enter" or something in a text box, thus sending the whole incomplete document.

 

When they click on submit, i want a warning message to come up that says something along the lines of, "Are you sure you'd like to submit this?" with a yes/no option.

 

I know this is a simple code, i've had it before. But I cannot remember what the actual code is, nor can I find it.

 

Thanks for the help.

add this to your button:

onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?')"

the problem w/ onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?')" is that if they select "no" it will still send the form.

 

this should really be in javascript, but anyway:

 

onclick="var x = confirm('are your sure'); if(!x){ return false; }"

 

or

 

function rUsure(){
var confirmation = confirm("Are you Sure You want to submit this form");
if(confirmation == false){
return false;
}
}

<form action="" method="" onsubmit="return rUsure()"> </a>

always works for me?

really? huh. maybe I was using a crappy browser the first time i tried using the confim() function.  It was a few years ago and I've just always used my work around assuming that its the only way it works. Apparently it may not be necessary.

you could always use the onsubmit="return confirm('Are you sure');" attribute of the form element.

Works like a charm, thank you.
