Confirm box return focus if cancel

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 20.2006

I have a form that if they do not select something in particular I want a confirm box to remind them they did not fill it out. if they hit OK then post form anyway. If they choose cancel, I want to not post form but place focus back on the main window so they can fill it out.

I did a search for this already within this forum but I cannot seem to find anything on it.

Thanks for your help with this.

@SelrachJan 20.2006 — you can set focus to the element desired and then return false on cancel.
[CODE]function confirmSubmit(){
if(document.getElementById("idOfElementToCheck") != something){
var yorn = confirm("Something isn't filled, do you still want to submit?");
if(!yorn) {
document.getElementById("idOfElementToFocusOn").focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
}[/CODE]
