Show message box with form entries on submitting the from in asp.net mvc

Question

I have a form which takes multiple inputs from user. Now I wanna show the inputs in a confirmation dialog and submit the form if user clicks OK. CanI use jQuery here??

Answer 1

Of course you can use jQuery here. =)

Dino Esposito wrote an excellent article on using jQuery UI in the context of ASP.NET MVC. One of things that he walks through is a dialog-based form.

Answer 2

Yes you can. The way I would do it would be to bind to the form's submit event, and display a standard JavaScript confirmation box:

Non-specific example:

$(function(){
    $('#myform').bind('submit', function(e){
     if(confirm('Write your confirmation message here')){
      return true; //submit form
     }else{
      return false; //suppress submission
     }
    });
});

Here's some very simple example code:

$("#submitButtonId").click(function(event) {

  event.preventDefault();

  if (confirm('Message containing values')) {

    $("#formId").submit();

  }

});
