How can i add a Javascript alert to the hyperlink ? I want to make the alert pop up when someone click on the link . This is the script for now -
<a href="<?php echo ($link1);?>" onclick="popitup();" data-role="button" data-theme="b" data-inline="true" > Send </a>
And i want to add this to the link
<script type="text/javascript">alert('Text.');</script>
You should define the popitup() function that you are calling in your onclick attribute:
<script type="text/javascript">
function popitup() {
alert('Text.');
}
</script>
also if you want to prevent the link from redirecting under certain conditions you could return false from this handler:
<a href="<?php echo ($link1);?>" onclick="return popitup();" data-role="button" data-theme="b" data-inline="true"> Send </a>
and then:
<script type="text/javascript">
function popitup() {
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to do that?')) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
</script>
if the alert should do some kind of logic you can use the return function like this
<a href="newlink.html" onClick="return confirm('do you really wanna go to this link?')" >the link</a>
or just add the alert w/o any logic in this way
<a href="newlink.html" onClick="alert('you are going to the link! beware!')" >the link</a>
You can add javascript statements to a href attribute by putting javascript: before the statement, so it would be something like:
<a href="javascript: alert('Text.');" ></a>
