JavaScript Prevent Form Submit

Question

I\'m trying to get my form to not submit when I press the cancel button on my JavaScript dialog.

I have this code:

  $(document).ready(function() {
             


        

Answer 1

the following like won't work since this reffers to the submit button which does not have an href attribute.

var link = $(this).attr("href"); // is invalid.

try

 $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#submit").click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var result = confirm("Are you sure you want to log this fault?");
        if (result) {
        $('#formId').submit(); // where formId is the id of your form
          document.location.href = "url to which you want to redirect";      
        }
        else
        return false;
       });
});

side note: from wherever you got this piece of code, they must be using a hyperlink styled like a button, with a valid href attribute :)
