How to create a custom “confirm” & pause js execution until user clicks button?

Question

Ok, I\'m doing a bunch of RIA/AJAX stuff and need to create a \"pretty\", custom confirm box which is a DIV (not the built-in javascript confirm). I\'m having trouble determ

Answer 1

In my case, the goal was to display a customConfirm box whenever user clicks the delete link embedded within each row of a .Net Repeater

Whenever user clicks the delete link of any particular row,the Custom Confirm function is called. Now inside the confirm function, in addition to rendering the new box, the following 2 things needed to be done:

// obtain the element(we will call it targetObject) that triggered the event

targetObject = (event.target==undefined ? event.srcElement : event.target);

// include a call to _doPostBack in the onclick event of OK/YES button ONLY

(targetObject.href!=undefined){ eval(targetObject.href); } else{ _doPostBack(targetObject.name,''); // it is assumed that name is available

The above if/else construct pertains to my case. Main thing is to just know that you can simulate the confirm pause & continuity using the event object and __doPostBack function.
