Question

Based on the JavaScript example below, is there a way to pass a reference to function f to the promptForProceed function and have it conditionally executed in promptForProceed?

Could you also do this if the ffunction took some parameters (ie: f(a, b, c) { ... })?

function f() {
    //Do stuff..
}

function promptForProceed(myFunction) {  // <------ PASS FUNCTION AS PARAMETER
    $("#div-dialog-proceed").dialog({
        modal: true,
        buttons: {
            "Stay on current page": function () {
                $(this).dialog("close");
            },
            "Continue": function () {
                $(this).dialog("close");
                myFunction(); // <---------  CALL FUNCTION
            }
        }
    });
}

Update: Think I like the option of using an anonymous function parameter:

promptForProceed(function() { //Do stuff like call f(a,b,c) });

Yes, but you should probably not name both of them f or it will be confusing what is going on. The line you called f() on is calling the parameter, not the function f (unless that’s what you passed)

To pass parameters, pass promptForProceed(myFunction, a, b, c) and then call with myFunction(a, b, c)
