HTML Confirm

VSnewbie · August 28th, 2004, 09:57 PM

I am new to HTML and am looking for help on coding the IHTMLWindow2::confirm Method, so that I can display a message and check whether the user clicked on "OK" or "Cancel". Could you provide a simple example please?

Well inside a web page it's trivial, window is the global object so you can just write the following in a script block:

Code:

var bContinue = confirm("Do you wish to continue?");  //OR window.confirm(...
alert(bContinue);  //OR window.alert(....

If you are manipulating IE via automationthen you need (from a stand alone javascript:

Code:

var oIE = new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application");
oIE.navigate("about:blank");
while (oIE.readyState != 4)
{
  WScript.sleep(200);
}
oIE.visible = true;
var oWin = oIE.document.parentWindow;
var bContinue = oWin.confirm("Do you wish to continue?");
WScript.echo("Continue: " + bContinue);

I thought it was simple, but it must be the way I am embedding my code or .... Here is a snippet of the code in my HTML:
    <% else if Session("Success") = "D" then
        Session("Success")=""
        %>
            var dRequest = confirm('Thank You. Your input has been recorded. Do you wish to record a Donation at this time?', *Donationrequest);
        <% if dRequest = True then %>
                window.location.href = '/donations/default.aspx&App=DONATIONS&ItemNo=1&nid=<%=session ("UserID")%>&hid= <%=session("Hierarchy")'
        <% else if Session("Mode") = "Add" then %>
                window.location.href = 'ViewEditGrid.aspx?mode=SubmitActuals&nid=<%=sessi on("UserID")%>&hid= <%=session("Hierarchy")'
        <% else if Session("Mode") = "Edit" then %>
                            window.location.href = 'ViewEditGrid.aspx?mode=Actual&nid=<%=session("Use rID")%>&hid= <%=session("Hierarchy")'
        <% else %>
                            window.location.href = '/Fraternal/BranchesAndRegions/Default.aspx'
        <% end if %>

The error I am getting is:

                if dRequest = True then
                   ~~~~~~~~

That's because you are mixing server side code and client side code. Code between <% %> tags is executed on the server, code in <script blocks on the client. You can only send data from client to server via an HTTP request, either GET or POST.
