Cancel confirm window after clicking cancel button

[jesusemelendezm]

Hi SN folks,

What can I use to configure a confirm pop up - when clicking cancel button on the change form. If user press cancel - It will ask confirmation, if press OK - cancel change- if cancel It must return to change form without cancelling the record.

Thanks for your help.

this should help

                        var answer=confirm("some message");

                      if (answer== true)

                            {

                            //your script to ok should come here

                      }

                      else

                            {

                            return false; //stops the submission of form

                      }

mark the question as answered if it helps

Hi Jesus,

confirm box can be used only in client side scripting. To use Kalaiasaran's code, you need to check the client checkbox on your UI Action.

Go through this Guru post that explains how to use client side and server side code in an UI Action.

Hope that helps.

Mandar, Thanks a lot. It works now. However when the condition is true. It is not cancelling the change. It is popping up the confirmation though.

function runClientCode(){

var answer=confirm("Are you sure you want to cancel this record?");

  if (answer==true)

  {

  current.state = 8;

current.update();

action.setRedirectURL(current);

gs.addInfoMessage('The current change request has been cancelled.');

  }

  else

  {

  return false;

  }

}
