specify url in javascript function

[Florence Cheung]

Hi,
I generated a html page ( also can be a jsp page). In this page,I have a "CANCEL" button.
<form name=myForm>
<input type=button value="CANCEL" onClick="confirmit()">
</form>
What I want to do is when I click this button, a confirm window pops up, if I click "yes", a page in the specified url should be displayed,if I click "no", the current page should be displayed.
In the javascript,I implemented:
<script language="javascript">
function confirmit(){
if(!confirm("Are you sure you want to cancel? "))
//should stay with the current page , but don't know how to
//implement it.
else
//should go to a specified url, but don't know how to
//implement it.
}
</script>
Any suggestions? Tks!

Hi Florence,
You can do something like this.
<form name="myform">
<input type="button" onClick="confirmit()">
</form>
and write your function like this..
function confirmit()
{
if(confirm("Are you sure you want to cancel? "))
/////Specify the url here where you want to go.
{
document.myform.action="your url";
document.myform.submit();
}
}//end of function
Explanation:
if the user presses "Yes" in the confirm dialog box,then he's taken to the new page as described by "your url".Else if he presses "No" then simply nothing is done and your page stays where it is now.
Hope that helped.
