cancelsubmit within tableviews

Posted on Jul 13, 2004 at 09:46 AM 19 Views

Hi all,

I want to delete an entry within a tableview by using a confirmation popup. So everytime I set htmlbevent.cancelSubmit = true the server event is fired anyway. How could I avoid this ? Here is the particular code fragment:

...

<htmlb:tableViewColumns>

<htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName = "delicon"

title = "delete"

type = "user"

onCellClick = "delete"

fixedColumn = "true"

horizontalAlignment = "center">

<htmlb:image src = "ICON_DELETE"

onClientClick = "htmlbevent.cancelSubmit = !confirm('really want to do this?');" />

</htmlb:tableViewColumn>

...

Is there anybody who can give me an idea what went wrong with this ?

Regards,

Marco

    Hallo Marco,

    One of two ideas:

    (1) Remove the onCellClick. This is the guy that is sending the request to the server. And add the click onto the image.

    (2) Add this following string onto the onClientClick "event.cancelBubble=true;" to prevent the event from been handled by someone else. Probably you only want to do it if htmlbevent.cancelSubmit is true.

    Recommended would be (1).

      Pure JavaScript. I have three books on JavaScript alone in my office. But in this case, I asked S., the real HTML and JavaScript expert in our group! I only do the ABAP parts :).

      Unfortunately there is no other way. Like I wrote before, you have here in mix of ABAP, BSP, HTML and JavaScript!
