Still no luck, this is what I have: $("a").click(function(){alertSave($(this).attr("href"));});
function alertSave(url) { var dataControl = $('#changedAppointments').attr("value"); if (dataControl.length > 0) { if (confirm("You have made changes to this date which have not been saved.\n\nAre you sure you want to navigate from this page?")) { document.location = url; } else return false; } } James Thomas wrote: > > You need to return false if you don't want something to happen. so if > (confirm('whatever')) { do_whatever(); } else return false; > > smeranda wrote: >> >> When a user clicks a link and a form field currently has data, a >> confirmation box appears.
