javascript confirm/alert question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 23.2013

Hello, I am using javascript library:
[url]http://dhtmlx.github.io/message/[/url] for website wide prompting etc…

I am embedding their confirm function into a basic hyperlink as such:

<a href=”test.html” onclick=’dhtmlx.confirm({title:”Redirecting”, text:”You are now leaving the site.”});’>test link</a>

When the hyperlink is pressed the user does not get a chance to click OK/Cancel, the site automatically loads.

How can I implement if a user clicks Ok, they get redirected to the site?

I have tried using <a href=”test.html” onclick=’dhtmlx.confirm({title:”Redirecting”, text:”You are now leaving the site.”});if (! confirm(‘Continue?’)) return false;’>test link</a>

but that did not work.

i'm not sure what 'result' does it return, but i'd try this

Thanks Padonak, that worked.

In the future, if I decide to add different js library's, the "callback:function(result){if(result!==false){location.href='test.html'};}});" will work as well? Is that just a universal / general way of a callback function?
