Javascript Confirmation Dialog

I was trying to get verification from the user on a delete command. This may not be the correct solution.

I needed a button, when the user clicks, a pop-up form asking "Are you sure?" appears. If the user selects 'Cancel', nothing happens. If the user selects 'Ok', then the data is deleted.

I developed this solution:

I am using the submit, because I have a hidden field that is set with a value depending on what the user has chosen to do. This is the reason for doing nothing on 'ok' and something on 'cancel'.

I think this is a more versatile solution.

//***************************************************

// Name: Form Submit

// Parameter [formId] : this is the Id of the form to

// submit.

// Parameter [verify] : 'true' if the form needs a

// confirmation before submitting, any other string

// if the form does not need confirmation.

// Parameter [message] : Message to show if the form

// needs validation.

//**************************************************

function formSubmit(formId, verify, message) {

if (verify == "true") {

if (confirm(message)) {

document.getElementById(formId).submit();

}

}

else {

document.getElementById(formId).submit();

}

}
