Confirmation Dialog Problem

[jinpsu]

I have a web application that uses confirmation dialogs on several commandButton's using the following convention:

onclick="if(!confirm('Are you sure?')) return false;"

However, I now need to dynamically set the text of the confirmation dialog based on the state of some backing bean. I thought this would be possible by doing something like this:

<a4j:commandButton value="Submit" id="submitButton"
 action="#{myBean.submitAction}"
 data="#{myBean.confirmationText}"
 onclick="if (!confirm(data)) return false;"/>

This doesn't work the way I expect and firebug tells me that "data is not defined". Is there any way to accomplish this using confirm()?

Thanks.

Hi Justin,

Use the following code:

onclick="if (!confirm('#{myBean.confirmationText}')) return false;"

Thanks, but is that evaluated when the page is rendered or when the button is clicked?

it will be evaluated on page rendering.
