Manipulating the "Post" button

[niagarwal]

Hi Community ,

Is there anybody who has tackled a requirement of enabling a confirmation pop-up once the Post Button is clicked with/without DOM manipulations ?

I am able to get to a point where on click of the Post button , the confirmation box appears.

However, an OK or CANCEL still inserts a record into the additional comments.

Hi,

Can you share the script which is allowing you to open confirm box when post button is clicked

Also what code is written when CANCEL is clicked?

Hi Ankur,

Here is the outlined code... Not complete in entirety though

function onLoad() {

                window.setTimeout(addPostListener,2000);

}

function addPostListener(){

                var PostButton = document.getElementsByClassName('activity-submit')[0];

                PostButton.addEventListener("click", myFunction) ;

                function myFunction() {

                                   if (confirm('You have entered Additional comments. Are you sure you wanted to do this?')){

                                                //return true ;

                                }else

                                {

                                                //alert("Not Confirmed");

                                                //return false;

                                }

                }

}

Hi,

can you try updating code as below and test once

function onLoad() {

window.setTimeout(addPostListener,2000);

}

function addPostListener(){



var PostButton = document.getElementsByClassName('activity-submit')[0];

PostButton.addEventListener("click", myFunction) ;



function myFunction() {
var retVal = confirm("You have entered Additional comments. Are you sure you wanted to do this?");
if( retVal == true ) {

// OK clicked

}  
else{
// CANCEL clicked
return false;
}

}


}

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

hi Ankur - Unfortunately declaring a variable and then checking for it , does not work either.
