YES/NO confirmation + Validation control

Hi,

I want to have confirmation(Yes/No) on a button of the webform in which
there are many validation controls. I want all the validation controls to be
triggered first and then Yes/No confirmation message. By adding just an
confirm attribute for 'onclick' event of the button doesn't work with
validation controls. Is there any short way to go around this.

Thanks
Nedu
 
Nedu,

I created a disable submit javascript that keeps a user from clicking the
submit button a second time.

The part of the script that will interest you is that I'm tying in to the
..Net validation script in order to check that the submit button doesn't get
disabled when the page isn't valid.

I think you could modify it to do what you need.

Here's the script (I've placed a comment line in the "checkSubmit" function
in the script where I think you could add your alert):

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var submitcount=0;

function disableSubmit()
{
if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate)=='function')
{
if (Page_ClientValidate() == true)
{
return checkSubmit();
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
else
{
return checkSubmit();
}
}

function checkSubmit()
{
if (submitcount == 0)
{
submitcount++; return true; //You could add your alert here.
}
else
{
alert('This form has already been submitted.'); return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>

In VB.Net Attach it to your button like so:

SubmitButton.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript: return
disableSubmit();")

Hi Nedu,

Thank you to Justin. I also found a control that may help you. I found it
via the Control Gallery at www.asp.net, under "Form Controls". It's listed
as "Confirmed Buttons". This control takes care of the javascript for you.
The direct link is

You can also learn, in depth, about the interactions of the validation
controls with the button click event at
http://authors.aspalliance.com/kenc/faq6.aspx
My favorite solution from this article is attachEvent.

Mike,

That's a great article. It's got me thinking about converting my code (which
I have in a javascript object I drop on a page and then use to hook up
"regular" .Net buttons to my script) into an inherited button control.

The only problem with the sample you pointed Nedu to is that he specifically
said that he wants his confirmation to fire after the validation and the
sample fires it before the validation.

An excerpt from the article:

"...and I also wanted to be sure my click handler fired first."

And Nedu's request:

"I want all the validation controls to be triggered first and then
Yes/No confirmation message"

Nedu,

Great! I think I'll have to add a version like this to my javascript
component.

Until your request I never thought of combining the two pieces of code [a
javascript confirmation and disable submit], but it makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the idea!
