the callback function is sort of an overall option, not a ‘per state’ option since it is called once the prompt is closed no matter what state it was on. Try this:

$.prompt(frame, { callback: mycallbackform });

var frame = {
state0: {
html: ”,
buttons: { Cancel: false, Save: true },
focus: 1,
submit: function(v, m, f) { return true; },
callback: mycallbackform
}
};

function mycallbackform(v, m, f) {
$.prompt(‘ i clicked ‘ + v);
}

As you can see the callback code is from your example, I’m just trying to get the callback to work for now but with no luck. I know I’m missing something, any suggestion?

That’s pretty much what I figured I would have to do to get around the issue. Not really an issue, just need to re-work my logic. Instead of using the $(document).submit() event, I simply have a custom function I use to handle the submit if the form validates.

Thanks again for your time.

Because there is no way to stop javascript execution other than a native alert or confirm, you will not be able to successfully return a value like this. You will have to use the callbacks to complete your logic, or simply call a function passing it the value of the button clicked.

Another way to accomplish your confirm before submitting the form is to return false on the click event for the submit button(no matter what..), but then open up the confirm box and if Ok is clicked do something like:

$(‘#myForm’).submit();

First off, I love the plug-in. Excellent work!

I have 1 small problem I am trying to figure out.
I have a form that when submitted, I use impromptu to ask the user a question. At that point, the user has the opportunity to cancel their submit or click ok to continue. Since impromptu returns the object instead of the value of the button the user clicked, I have no way to pass the value back to the form.

If the submit button has already been clicked, how can I return the value to the calling function ($(document).submit())? Any ideas?

$(document).submit(function() {
var validForm = false;
var confirmMsg = ‘some msg’;
// validation code

if (validForm) {
$.prompt(confirmMsg, {
buttons: {Ok: true, Cancel: false},
callback: function(val) {
// want to return the value back to continue or cancel submit
return val;
}
});
}
});

You can have spaces in the name. You will need to do it like so:

var mybtns = {};
mybtns['bla bla'] = true;
mybtns['more text'] = true;

$.prompt(‘my text here, { buttons: mybtns });

Hope that helps!

How do can I have a button with spaces in it’s name? That would be a great improvement for me.

I would like to do something like this:

var okText = “Very good!”;
var cancelText = “Not bad”;

$.prompt(“Your ranking?”, { buttons: { okText: 1, cancelText: 0 }});

That doesn’t work…

i solved my problem thanks

automatically closing is very nice so
