ok/cancel prompt followed by submit?

Hi there,

I was wondering how I could do this: prompt the user whether they wish 
to proceed or not.  If they want to, the form is submitted if not, not.

I am using Cocoon 2.1.11 and Flowscript/CForms

So, there are a number of rows that the user can select (highlight) and 
then click a "Delete" button whereupon I submit the row ids and delete 
the rows.  No problem.

The customer has now asked me to put a prompt, to ask the user to 
confirm, before the delete actually happens.  I was thinking of a 
JavaScript confirm box, and triggering it based on the onclick event 
from my Delete button.

But if the users confirms the delete, how do I call the same Delete 
button's submit action?

Hi Paul

What I've done is have the delete button action make visible a group where
the real delete button lives, along with a cancel button which will make the
group invisible again.  Some YUI stuff does the popup with background
disabled.

Re: ok/cancel prompt followed by submit?

If you really want to be safe, let the form submit to an intermediate page in which you summarise what the user will delete. If the user submits this page, then delete it. This can be done with continuations, no Javascripts are needed. The average user just clicks OK on a confirm window without reading it.

Re: ok/cancel prompt followed by submit?

Thanks guys, and sorry for the delay...client had postponed it for a while.

I don't get how to do it without any JavaScript is involved...don't I do a submit with say "delete" as the id and then based on that write some small line of JS to show that page with the button that does the real delete? How do I do it with just continuations?
