Javascript Confrmation Box, Executing Code Behind Only If Clicked Yes

This is following my previous question.. How to reload parent page on closing PopUp window? I tried a combination of things but could not make it work.. Sometimes the code behind e

Solution 1:

Have a look at this

function Refresh() {
    var confirmed = confirm('Are you sure?');

    if (confirmed) {
        window.onunload = refreshParent;
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

function refreshParent() {
    window.opener.location.reload();
}

Solution 2:

Try this

   function Refresh() {
       var myBoolean = new Boolean();
       if (confirm('Are you sure?')) {

       window.onunload = refreshParent;
       function refreshParent() {

           window.opener.location.reload();
           return true;
       }
   }
       else {return false;}
   }

Solution 3:

Don't use a server-side button. Those elements are meant to execute an action in the server.

So guess what? for executing the action on the server this needs to happen:

• The browser submits the form making a POST request
• The server parses the form data and identifies which button was pressed
• The server calls the registered event handler for the button.

So, in your case I would cancel the onclick event of the button in client side. Or simpler... just use a normal HTML button.

<button id="btnAccept" onclick="Refresh()" style="HEIGHT: 19px;background: #C0003B;color: white; "> Accept </button>
