Alert box for cfform
This is a simple example where an alert box is displayed to the user before performing a critical operation. It is sometimes necessary to have a confirmation from the user, so we'll use an alert to do it. If the user clicks on "Yes", we continue, otherwise, we cancel.
This is a simple example where an alert box is displayed to the user before performing a critical operation. It is sometimes necessary to have a confirmation from the user, so we'll use an alert to do it. If the user clicks on "Yes", we continue, otherwise, we cancel.
Here is the code
var myClickHandler = function (evt){
if (evt.detail == mx.controls.Alert.OK){
alert("Records deleted","Completed");
}
}
alert("Are you sure you want to remove all records?", "Warning", mx.controls.Alert.OK | mx.controls.Alert.CANCEL, myClickHandler);
Note that the function alert() returns true as soon as the alert is triggered. It doesn't wait for the user response. That means we cannot do if(alert("")){ do something } else {cancel} because it will always go to "do something" regardless of what the user responds. That is why we need to make the event handler function that receives the actual response.
