Confirm Save during onchange of drop down

Question

Hi,

Onchange of select option I am confirming the user whether to save or not the changes. If user selects OK , I am submitting the form automatically.ie. onchange="if(confirm('Save?')){this.form.gridedit.click();} ". When user selects cancel it is populating the recently selected option. My problem is I have to populate the old value if user selects Cancel option from that confirmation message. Please help in this issue any one. Thanks

Try this, don't think you can accomplish it without some manual work.

<script type="text/javascript">
var ddHelper = {
    previousIdx: null,
    store: function(e, dd) {
        this.previousIdx = dd.selectedIndex;
    },
    confirm: function(e, dd) {
        if(!window.confirm('Save?')) {
            window.setTimeout(function() { // Think you need setTimeout for some browsers
                dd.selectedIndex = ddHelper.previousIdx;
            }, 0);
        }
    }
};
</script>
<select onfocus="ddHelper.store(event, this)" onchange="ddHelper.confirm(event, this">
</select>

If the input values come from any Database, load those again in the field when user press cancel.
