Go to URL after OK button if alert is pressed
I need to make sure that when the user clicks OK in a JavaScript alert window, the browser moves to a different URL. Is this possible?
What do you mean by "make sure"?
alert('message');
window.location = '/some/url';
redirects user after they click OK in the alert window.
I suspect you mean in a confirm
window (ie. Yes/No options).
if (window.confirm('Really go to another page?'))
{
// They clicked Yes
}
else
{
// They clicked no
}
An alert does not return a value, in fact returns undefined
so the easiest way I find right now is conditioning the alert like this
if(!alert("my text here")) document.location = 'http://stackoverflow.com/';
A better way is using confirm() javascript function like this
if(confirm("my text here")) document.location = 'http://stackoverflow.com/';
Another option is making your own alert of course
I think what you need is this :
if(confirm("Do u want to continue?")) {
window.location.href = "/some/url"
}
