Just include a check, like this:

if(prompt("Enter the complete URL for the link you wish to add.",
"http://")){
	// Code here
}
else{
	return false;
}

Subject: [javascript] cancel on prompt box


Hope someone can help. I've got a pop-up prompt box in a forum for inserting
the code for a hyperlink into the message where all the user has to do is
enter the web address. The problem is when I click cancel, it inserts "<a
href = null>null</a>". is there anyway to get it to insert nothing when
cancel is clicked? Here's the code I'm using:

function DoPrompt(action) {
	var revisedMessage;
	var currentMessage = document.form1.txtMessage.value;

	if (action == "url") {
	var thisURL = prompt("Enter the complete URL for the link you wish
to
add.", "http://");
var urlUBBCode = "<a href="+thisURL+">"+thisURL+"</a>";
	revisedMessage = currentMessage+urlUBBCode;
	document.form1.txtMessage.value=revisedMessage;
	document.form1.txtMessage.focus();
	return;
	}

Any tips at all would help!

Thanks
Karen
