kinda like how an alert() will stop everything until the user interacts with it - i'm wanting to stop the flow of everything until another event happens. for example...
onclick="final_function(first_function('Does 1 + 5 = 6?'));"
function first_function(message) {
// some document.createElement() stuff
// buttons that will return true or false
}
function final_function(status) {
if (status) {
// true - so do something with it
} else {
// false - don't do anything
}
}
Only alert(), confirm(), and prompt() can do that. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to have multiple functions and use setTimeout/setInterval or event handlers to call the next function.

ok... how about dynamically calling on another function like this. is there a way to "pass" a function into another?
onclick="whatever('testing', 'something()');"
onclick="whatever('testing', 'another()');"
function whatever(msg, funct) {
var a = confirm(msg);
funct(a);
}
function something(status) {
if (status) {
// something
} else {
// something else
}
}
function another(status) {
if (status) {
// something
} else {
// something else
}
}
ok, this semi-works...but i'm having difficulty just keeping whatever() empty without variables while being called within msgBox().

Yes. In javascript, functions are objects. Try this:Originally Posted by NokX
HTML Code:<input type="button" onclick="whatever('testing', something);" /> <input type="button" onclick="whatever('testing', another);" /> <script> function whatever(msg, funct) { var a = confirm(msg); funct(a); } function something(status) { if (status) { // something } else { // something else } } function another(status) { if (status) { // something } else { // something else } } </script>
