Reset a form button confirmation pop up window not working

[kathrynw30934429]

I have reset form buttons on most of my forms and am trying to add a confirmation pop up that asks if they are sure they want to reset the form.

By clicking cancel or no - the form should still contain the data that was in it, if they click yes it should erase all the form fields.

On the action tab of the button properties, I have added the action to run a javascript - and tried numerous scripts found online, moved it above the reset a form action and below.  Most all will pop up, but regardless of what is pressed, the form clears out.

I want the option to NOT clear the form after it has been pressed but giving the "second chance" warning pop up and I wouldn't mind dictating what the message says - but that isn't near as important as the action working.

You have to do it all in JS. You can't add a separate command to reset the form, as that will always execute.

I guess I should have mentioned my beginner skills.  Thank you for pointing that out!!!!

In case you need the code to do it, it would be something like this:

if (app.alert("Are you sure you want to clear this form?",2,2)==4) this.resetForm();

I used this JS and it works great. However, when the user selects "No" it clears the form anyway. How do I get it to not do that?

I see you already got a reply in your stand-alone post. Let's continue the discussion there.

Was there a resolution on this? Because I am running into the same problem of the form still clearing when "No" is selected with the JS code you provided.

That was what I was looking for. Worked perfectly, thank you very much!
