Can I use like a message box with PL/SQL?

Question

Hi!
Well I was making some tests on my forms then i realized that when i erased something it was just like that, no anouncement or something like that and it was gone, so i think users of this might make mistakes, iike erasing somedata very easy, so I want to do something to send a confirmation message in case that the user intents to erase something, something like a messagebox ....
so I want to use PL/SQL code to do this and i believe that the code should go in the +... before processing the form. + section for my form...
can you help me? 'cause I don't know how to do it?
thanks in advance.

You may use the javascript code embedded into pl/sql to prompt users. This means you can put this in all of those places where you may include your html code. for example, in the submit button's html specs.
You may keep the following code in the additional pl/sql code region and then call such a function (eg, alertCancel() ) in the submit button of your form. Here is a working example.
    htp.p('
          <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
          function alertCancel()
                 if (confirm("Do you really want to cancel this request?") {
                      window.close();
       </script>
    ');Just do a google search for how to call a javascript function from html, if you need.
hope that helps!
