Call a process based on the click of a javascript confirm popup box

Question

I have created a function to create a javascript confirm popup box which calls an update process called Reactivate_save(), see below:
function reactivate_save()
var r=confirm("Do you wish to save pending changes?")
if (r==true)
document.getElementById('Reactivate_Save').call();
I want to make the update process conditional on clicking the 'ok' button inside the popup box.....Is this possible?
I thought that I could reference it by using:
value in expression 1 = expression 2
reactivate_save() = true or 1
Neither of these worked and wondering if there is something else that I can use?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
Your function is in Javascript while the process is PL/SQL. What you need to do is somewthing like this
if (r==true)
document.getElementById('Reactivate_Save').call(); // not sure what this does so left it as it is
doSubmit('MY_REQUEST');
}You can now use the 'MY_REQUEST' request, or whatever else you choose to call it, in the process condition using
1. Request = e condition type by entering MY_REQUEST in the Expression 1
or
2. PL/SQL Expression type with :REQUEST = 'MY_REQUEST' in expression 1
Note : In Apex 3 and below you need to add a semi colon at the end of PL/SQL Expresssions
Regards,
PS : Noticed that this is the same as call a process based on the click of a javascript confirm popup box
