Whatever parameters are used in the CfmessageBox,

I get that error :

buttonType attribute is valid only for messagebox type "confirm".

Running CF9.0

Example code:

Thanks for help.

You have omitted some information, so it is difficult to say. In any case, you should have included the line ColdFusion.MessageBox.show('PopMessage'); within a function. Start with something like

<html>

<head>

//CallbackHandler

var GrabUserInput = function(btn,message){

alert(message);

}

//Button onClick handler

function showMB(mbox) {

ColdFusion.MessageBox.show('PopMessage');

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

</cfform>

<cfmessagebox name="PopMessage"

callbackhandler="GrabUserInput"

labelok="Check info"

title="Warning!"

icon="warning"

type="alert"

message="This is a message box"/>

</body>

</html>

OK thanks, I see.

Need to handle the "GrabUserInput"

or something similar. or ommit it.

Not easy to use.

Basic javascript (alert, confirm, prompt) are less nice looking,

but easier and faster to use.

I tried this :

The button onClick works.

But the called function al() in the JS code does not work

So, it seems it only works on "clicks" not in JS code.

could you confirm ?

Thanks, Pierre.

Just as well you ask. It made me see a mistake in the code I gave you. The function should instead read

function showMB(mbox) {

ColdFusion.MessageBox.show(mbox);

}

Accordingly, the latest code you mention should be

function al(arg) {

ColdFusion.MessageBox.show(arg);

}

// al();

</script>

or, alternatively,

function al() {

ColdFusion.MessageBox.show('PopMessage');

}

// al();

</script>

Thanks for answering,

What I mean, is that this MessageBox cannot be called Inside a Javascript code.

it must be in onClick button function ?

When I said :

function al() {

ColdFusion.MessageBox.show('PopMessage');

}

al();

</script>

the al() should show the box, but it did not.

the al() in an input button onClick, it does show the box.

So this cannot be used in a javascript code ?

My reaction was:

// al();
