I have a small html form
with three checkboxes, one in each row
. I want to have a javascript confirm box
show when the user unchecks the box, and then if the user selects cancel, the checkbox
remains checked. I've searched this site and a few others but almost everything was to do with the checkbox
being checked, like if they had to agree to some terms or something. I am very new to Javascript
however I tried to make a function based on what I though it should look like, but it doesn't work.
Here is my form:
<form action= method=post>
<table id=table>
<tr>
<td>Checkbox One</td>
<td align=center>
<input type=checkbox name=check1 checked=checked onchange=cTrig(this.name)></input>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Checkbox Two</td>
<td align=center>
<input type=checkbox name=check2 checked=checked onchange=cTrig(this.name)></input>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Checkbox Three</td>
<td align=center>
<input type=checkbox name=check3 checked=checked onchange=cTrig(this.name)></input>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align=center>
<td colspan=2>
<input type=submit name=submit value=submit></input>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
And here is the function I tried, but doesn't work:
function cTrig(name) {
if (name.checked == true) {
confirm(Are you sure you want to do this?);
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Here is a jsfiddle
I would prefer something in Javascript
as I want to become more familiar with that language before getting into jquery
, but if it has to be done in jquery
, then that is fine. Cheers.
