Question

I am creating an asp web application that can’t use JQuery and uses custom pop up dialogs.

I create a form using:

<% using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "recordsbook", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "SubmitForm" })){%>

I have submit buttons:

<td><input type="submit" value="Next"  name="SubmitButton"/></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Previous"  name="SubmitButton" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="First"  name="SubmitButton" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Last"  name="SubmitButton" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Add Record"  name="SubmitButton"/></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Delete Record"  name="SubmitButton"/></td>

I want to add a confirmation dialog for the Delete Record SubmitButton. For some reason when I add an onsubmit event to the input it gets skipped. If I change onsubmit to onclick the confirm dialog pops up but the background submit process happens in parallel and refreshes the page.

How can I add the onsubmit confirmation dialog to just the Delete Record submit button.

Answer 1

I believe onclick needs to return false to stop the submission
