Question

I am currently working on on some JavaScript examples from w3schools and I was wondering if there was a way to get the text info entered by the user and at the same time determine if the user clicks OK or cancel.

I know to determine if OK or cancel was pressed by:

var r=confirm("Press a button");
 if (r==true)
   {
   alert("You pressed OK!");
   }
 else
   {
   alert("You pressed Cancel!");
   }

And to get the data from a text field :

var name=prompt("Please enter your name","Harry Potter");
if (name!=null && name!="")
  {
  document.write("<p>Hello " + name + "! How are you today?</p>");
  }

But is there a way to get both of these at the same time?

Thanks

Answer 1

var p;
p = prompt('What is your age ?','');

if (p == null) {
    alert('Cancel was clicked.');
}
else {
    alert('OK was clicked.');
}

If the user clicks cancel or presses the X then p is null
