prompt before calling a4j:commandButton action

Hi,

I have an a4j:commandButton and I'd like to stop calling action based on user's answer to my javascript prompt. How I can do that? Before when I was using h:commandButton, I was able to do like

<h:commandButton onclick="return promptUser();" action=#{myBean.update}" />

where the promptUser could return either true or false and base on the value returned action was fired.

I've tried the same thing with a4j:commandButton but it seems the action is fired no matter what. How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, you should read more about document of richfaces.

Then, the following code can do what you want. <h:commandButton onclick="if(condition())return false;" action=#{myBean.update}" />

condition() method returns a boolean value;
