OnItemSelect

[James Knowlton]

I'm using the TabStrip item and would like to add an "alert" box question to open when the user clicks and item and prevent it's posting back if the user does not confirm. I tried the following:

ClientOnItemSelect="return confirm('Are you sure you want to DELETE this LINK between the Workforce record and the Student Record?');"

I have the autopostback set to true, and it is posting without invoking the java script "confirm".

Any ideas how I can implement this functionality?

Thanks,

James.

Ok, Mostly solved this one myself, I simply put the "return confirm("xxx"); in a function and pointed the ClientOnItemSelect="functionName()"

However this introduced a new problem, if I click "Cancel" on the confirm popup the tabstripitem remains "selected" (which is ok by itself) but if I click on it again it doesn't perform a post back, or fire the ClientOnItemSelect function.

Obviously the user could click the tabstripitem, cancel the confirm box and then change their mind and want to click the tabstrip item again. I want the confirm box to reappear but then beable to confirm the selection and have the associated tabstripitem code execute.

So, anybody know why a second "click" doesn't cause either the function to execute or the postback to occur?

Thanks,

James.

I didn't consider it a bug, just a feature that wasn't what I needed and hoped I could adjust. I guess it kind of makes sense what is the point of posting back to the server for a tab that is already displayed.

I managed a work around (though I still prefer using the tabstrip) by adding a tool bar to each multi-page attached to the tabstrip and it accomplishes the same thing just a little mor combersome since I need a unique toolbar for each page where the menu worked for all.

Thanks,

James.
