Question

I am performing two validations on the client side on the samve event. I have defined my validations as shown below

btnSearch.Attributes['OnClick'] = 'javascript:return prepareSave(); return prepareSearch();' 

Pseudo code for

prepareSave(): {   if (bPendingchanges)     {      return confirm('Need to save pending changes first, click OK and loose changes or cancel to save them first')     }   else    {return true} } 

Pseudo code for

prepareSearch(): {   if (bNoSearchText)     {       alert('Please specify search criteria before proceeding')       return false;    }   else    {return true;} } 

When bPendingchanges=false, I never get the second validation running. Anyone who can quickly spot what I have overlooked here? Please?

Answer 1

Your second return statement will never be reached. Execution stops after javascript:return prepareSave().

Looks like you want to return true if both functions return true – therefore, do:

btnSearch.Attributes['OnClick'] = javascript: return prepareSave() && prepareSearch();
