Javascript submit() function

Question

Ok, I've been working on this all day and I hoping someone can help me. The alerts work correctly, but the form never submits. I've tried changing the cfinputs to read submit versus button. When I do that, it blows by the JS alerts and submits the page. I need the alerts to appear BEFORE submitting the page. function submitButton(type) { if (type == "Transition LIN") { if (resultsGrid.selectedItem.lin == undefined) { alert("You must select a LIN to transition."); return false; } else { alert("Before you can mark a LIN for transition, you must complete the following form."); LINAdmin.Submit();} } } THANK YOU!

Great! This is what worked. Thanks ScareCrow!

function submitButton() {
var myClickHandler = function (evt){
if (evt.detail == mx.controls.Alert.OK){
_root.submitForm();
}
}

alert("Before you can mark a LIN for transition, you must complete the following form.", "Alert", mx.controls.Alert.OK | mx.controls.Alert.CANCEL, myClickHandler);
}

Thanks Ken, however now it's behaving as if I changed the cfinput to submit versus button. The alert pops up but before you can click OK, the page is submitted.

How can I tell it to submit only if the user clicks the OK button?

Thanks again.
