Javascript confirm() popup freezes everytime

Since the latest update to Firefox (3.6.4), 3 of our users have reported that Firefox crashes when calling a confirm() dialog. The dialog appears but no buttons work and the dialog cannot be moved or closed, and the process seems to have hung.
We have tried Safe Mode and the problem persists.
The HTML page in question, with the confirm() call, is a local file with one embedded Flash applet.
After about 30 seconds of waiting and clicking around, the process suddenly recovers and acts normally from then on.
Anyone else having this problem?

additionally, i want to add that the problem does not occur on all confirm() calls, for instance this one works fine:

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

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

Hi Praveen
There is not direct option in JavaScript to get Yes/No buttons in a Confirm dialog.
But, we can create a customized dialog box with our own HTML tags, controls and scripts and show it as a confirmation dialog using
window.showModalDialog() function
Here is the sample HTML to demonstrate how to create a customized confirmation dialog.
Dialog.HTML (This contains the UI for the confirmation dialog. Message, Yes No buttons etc)
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title>Confirmation Message</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function()
var messageDiv = document.getElementById('dlgMessage');
if ( messageDiv != null && typeof(messageDiv) != "undefined" )
messageDiv.innerHTML = window.dialogArguments;
function confirmClick(args)
window.returnValue = args;
window.close();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dlgMessage">
</div>
<input type="button" value="Yes" id="btnYes" onclick="javascript:confirmClick('yes')"/>
<input type="button" value="No" id="btnNo" onclick="javascript:confirmClick('no');"/>
</body>
</html>
MainPage.HTML (From where the confirmation dialog will be shown. In your case, u can use the script in this html and customize it according to ur needs)
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title>Main Page</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function showConfirmDlg(message)
var returnValue = window.showModalDialog("dialog.html",message,"dialogHeight:150px;dialogWidth:200px");
if ( returnValue == 'yes' )
alert('Yes button is clicked in the dialog');
else
alert('No button is clicked in the dialog');
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="btnConfirm" type="button" value="Confirm" onclick="javascript:showConfirmDlg('Do you want to continue?');" />
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps.

HTTPUNIT - How to click OK on a javascript confirm popup

Hi all,
I'm new using httpunit. I've to test a webpage that deletes an item. When you click on the delete button, a confirmation's popup is shown with two buttons (Accept and reject). To go on testing the whole website, I need to click on the accept button and I don't know how to do this. Could anyone help me please?
Let me type some code to ilustrate the case.
//This is the delete button as is written in the html's form tag
buch of code
<input type="button" class="button" value="delete" onclick="verify.onBorrar(this.form)"/>
bunch of code
//This is the javascript that handles the onclick event
function verify_onBorrar(form){
for(var i = 0;i<form.selection.length;i++){
if(form.selection[i].checked){
if(confirm('blablabla'){
form.action = 'ConsAlmBorrar.jsp?';
form.submit();
verify.onBorrar = verify_onBorrar;
note that selection is the name of a group of radio buttons
With the httpunit java class that I've made, I'm able to select the item I want to delete, click on the delete button, and here is where the popup window appear and I can't go further.
Thank you Indeed.

Hi Maciejhttp://forums.adobe.com/people/Maciej%20Przepi%C3%B3ra
Thanks for your inputs.
I have memory leaks in my code. I have tried iDialog->Release() code which reduces some of the memory leaks
Though I want to use more clean method of InterfacePtr.
"To prevent reference counts from incrementing, as in Type 1a and 1b, use this constructor, which does not call IPMUnknown::AddRef:"
Which Constructor you are pointing out, I didn't get it.
I tried InterfacePtr<IDialog> iDialog((IDialog *)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_IDIALOG));
It started giving me assert again.
Please give an example how to do it or which InterfacePtr constructor doesn't call AddRef().
Many thanks for helping me with this.

How to Stop confirmation popup arising for datepicker control in IE

Hello All,
I m using a confirmation popup to notify user when they try to navigate away from the page with out saving the changes made. I executed it through the javascript and it even works properly for most of the items and buttons except Datepicker control. This issue is only with Internet Explorer and all others are fine.
I use the following block of code to do the job
+function isFormChanged()
{+
var rtnVal = false;
var frm = document.wwv_flow;
var ele = frm.elements;
for ( i=0; i < ele.length; i+ )
{+
+if ( isElementChanged( ele, i ) )
{+
rtnVal = true;
break;
+}+
+}+
return rtnVal;
+}+
+function isElementChanged( ele, i )
{+
var isEleChanged = false;
+switch ( ele.type ) {+
case "text" :
+if ( ele[i].value != ele[i].defaultValue ) return true;+
+if( ele[i].id.indexOf('Date')!=-1) return false;+
break;
case "textarea" :
+if ( ele[i].value != ele[i].defaultValue ) return true;+
break;
case "radio" :
val = "";
+if ( ele[i].checked != ele[i].defaultChecked ) return true;+
break;
case "select-one" :
+if      (ele[i].id>99 ) return false;+
+for ( var x =0 ; x <ele[i].length; x++ )
{+
+if ( ele[i].options[ x ].selected+
+!= ele[i].options[ x ].defaultSelected ) return true;+
+}+
break;
case "select-multiple" :
+if      (ele[i].id>99 ) return false;+
+for ( var x =0 ; x <ele[i].length; x++ )
{+
+if ( ele[i].options[ x ].selected !=+
+ele[i].options[ x ].defaultSelected ) return true;+
+}+
break;
case "checkbox" :
+if ( ele[i].checked != ele[i].defaultChecked ) return true;+
default:
return false;
break;
+}+
+}+
var g_saving = false;
var IsThe2ndNavAway = false;
var g_errmsg="The changes you made to the page were not saved.";
+function WarnSave()
{+
var formChanged = isFormChanged();
if (!g_saving && formChanged)
+{+
if(!IsThe2ndNavAway)
+{+
IsThe2ndNavAway=true;
+var tOut = window.setTimeout(function () { IsThe2ndNavAway = false; }, 0);+
return g_errmsg;
+}+
+}+
+}+
function doSave()
+{+
g_saving=true;
doSubmit('SAVE');
+}+
the above lines on page Html header and the Html body attribute with onBeforeUnload="return WarnSave();"
Can any one say why the confirmation popup is pushed of in IE for DatePicker Calendar alone and provide the work around if any..

Quicktime freezes everytime I open it. Windows don't close. How do I fix this?

Quicktime freezes everytime I open it. Windows with previously watched videos keep opening. When I close them, and when the only one I wish to watch is left, it freezes and I have to force quit. A window of that video is then added to the many that open upon starting up next time.

Here's a few things I try when an app misbehaves and crashes.
1. Quit the app and restart it like this: Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it work like normal.
2. If the first suggestion did not work try quitting the app again but instead of restarting it right away, reset your device like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Ten restart the app and see if it works.
3. If neither of the previous suggestions worked I suggest deleting the app by tapping and holding on the app until it jiggles and displays a Rex X. Tap the X and confirm that you want to delete the app. Then reset your device. After the device has restarted go to the App Store and download Facebook again.
If all these fail you might just have to search for an alternative app until Facebook fixes the problem.

Javascript Confirm Redirect

I am looking to figure out how to do a javascript confirm
Redirect popup. Can anyone help me out with that? Is there a
Dreamweaver behavior for that?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but it's easy enough to
make a popup (to
open a second sized browser window) by using DW's Open
Browser Window
behavior.

Problem with javascript confirm() in a JSP

I'm trying to use a confirm() box in a jsp. I've looked at tons of examples and I still have the same problem. If I just add this to my page the prompt will pop up as expected: (of course it doesn't really do anything.)<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
confirm( "Are you sure you want to delete?" )
</SCRIPT>As soon as I add an if clause around it it doesn't even pop up anymore, such as:if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?")){
<%
     Do some jsp stuff
%>
else {
<%
     Do some jsp stuff
%>
}I can include more of the code if needed. This code is for deleting some files, so I want to add an "are you sure prompt?". If they hit ok it will delete, otherwise cancel the operation.
I assume that the "if confirm( "Are you sure you want to delete?" ) " should wait for a reponse before continuing. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
James

You can use Javascript to confirm a delete, and delete an object in the following manner.
//link to delete an object..
<a href="thisPage.jsp?delete=<%= itemID %>"
   onClick="return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this item?');">delete</a>Then, at the top of the JSP pageif(request.getParameter("delete") != null)
   //do whatever to delete, then load the page as normal
}Now, your item will be deleted, and the page will be refreshed to show the changes.

What can I do about itunes freezing everytime I try to do something substantial like erase all my duplicates

Where is your library file? If it is on a network share rather than a local disk that can cause a big slowdown.
Every change in the library requires that all smart playlists are reevaluated and the library is rewritten to disc. As your library grows the time taken to perform these actions will grow exponentially rather than linearly.
As to duplicates, I've written a script called DeDuper which you might find useful. See this thread for background.

Javascript Confirm Based on server time!!

Hello Everybody,
I want to raise a javascript confirm dialog box based on the server time. On button click, I want to raise the following code if the time is between 11 am to 24pm.
E.g.
IF l_time BETWEEN '11:00' AND '24:00' THEN
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p('var r=confir("Do you want to proceed?");
htp.p('........so on');
htp.p('</script>');
ELSE
-- just submit the page
END IF;
Any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks,
Parveen

Hi,
a.Always mention the Apex version, in every post.
b. Always enclose your code in a pair of tags to make is more readable.
Javascript can read the local machine time. If you want to access the server time you will need to use PL/SQL or SQL for that and pass that to the javascript function.
Any specific reason why you are generating the JS through PL/SQL? Its so much easier to decalre the function in the Page HTML Header rather than doing htp.p.

Confirmation popup in FPM OVP application controller?

Is it possible to make use of confirmation boxes within the application controller of an FPM-OVP? In my application there is a logout button in the global toolbar. The event is captured within the application controller of the FPM-OVP application, thus in the method IF_FPM_OVP_CONF_EXIT~OVERRIDE_EVENT_OVP. Now, I would like to open a confirmation popup (Are you really, really, really sure? Yes/No/I will think about it) and to trigger the event only when it is answered with yes. In forms I have the possibility to make use of the extended interfaces and to implement the NEEDS_CONFIRMATION method. Is there something similar in the current context?
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Try to use AFTER_NEEDS_CONFIRMATION method in application controller.
Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

Validation popup conflicting with confirmation popup

I am using 11gR1.
I have a form with three buttons on it CreateInsert, Next, Cancel.
The next button fires model layer validation on a new record, the cancel button opens a confirmation popup and if the user clicks yes, navigates the away from the form. When a user clicks next AND the form does not pass the model layer entity validation, a validation error is raise in a validation popup. The problem comes when the user then decides to not fix the validation, but instead cancel out of the form via the cancel button AFTER they have already clicked next.
When the user clicks the cancel button it raises the confirmation pop-up and whether the users clicks yes or no on the pop-up, the model layer validation still fires. I have immediate set to true on the cancel button to bypass validation, BUT if they user has already clicked next the validation still runs when they try to answer the pop-up. This results in the user being stuck in a never ending series of pop-ups because the confirmation pop-up can not close because the model layer validation keeps firing.
I have a dialoglistener on the dialog and a method in the backing bean (backingBeanScope.backing_IAEdit.cancelConfirmDialog) but that code never fires. Anyone else run across this problem or have any ideas how to resolve it?
Here is the code from the command buttons...
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.CreateInsert.execute}" text="CreateInsert"    disabled="#{!bindings.CreateInsert.enabled}"
                            id="cb5"/>
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Next.execute}" text="Next" disabled="#{!bindings.Next.enabled}" partialSubmit="true"
                            id="cb2"/>
<af:commandButton text="Cancel" id="cb4" action="Cancel" immediate="true">
                <af:showPopupBehavior popupId="p1"/>
</af:commandButton>
<af:popup id="p1">
              <af:dialog id="CancelConfirmDialog" title="Confirm Cancel" type="yesNo"
                               dialogListener="#{backingBeanScope.backing_IAEdit.cancelConfirmDialog}">
                      <af:outputText value="Are you sure you would like to cancel?" id="CancelOutput"
                                     inlineStyle="font-weight:bold; font-size:small;"/>
              </af:dialog>
</af:popup>

Thanks for the suggestion, but the code in the dialoglistener never fires.
When the user clicks yes or no to dismiss the dialog box, the validation from the bc layer fires (even though immediate is set to true on the cancel button) and pops up an error box. When the error box opens, it opens in a modal way, the dialog box grays out and all you can do is dismiss the error box. When the user clicks ok to dismiss the error box, the dialog box is still open. Then when the user again clicks yes or no on the dialog box, it again fires validation and pops up the error box in a modal way. So now the user is stuck with these two pop ups and can never get rid of the dialog box.
Just to clarify, this ONLY happens if the user FIRST clicked the next button which triggered the bc layer validation. If the user just clicks the cancel button, everything works as expected with the dialog box popping up, the user selects yes or no, the dialoglistener code is run and the user is navigated to another page. If the user just clicks the cancel button validation is never run as is expected by having immedate set to true.

Superfluous confirm popup in UI editor?

Hello NI,
I have a XY graph with several annotations.
If I open the uir file and double click on the graph (-> Edit Graph popup), click on the 'Annotations' button (-> Edit Annotations popup) and change Current Annotation say from 24 to 23 (to see its properties).
Then I want to close everything (not changing anything): I click on the X button in the panel title of the 'Edit Annotations popup: a confirm popup shows up asking if I am sure to discard the changes. This popup is ok for the current annotation has changed. So I click Yes.
By this all changes should have discarded, right?
But now, if I click the X button in the panel of the Edit Graph popup the same confirm popup shows up again... In my opinion this should not happen ;-)
(I know that I can leave the two popups faster by hitting ESC twice)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, this is a bug, and it's been around since the beginning of CVI from what I can tell.
It's actually two bugs: 1) you shouldn't see the prompt in the annotations dialog in the first place, if all that you change in that dialog is the current annotation (and the analogous control, in the graph's cursors dialog, or the strip chart's traces dialog), since changing the current annotation/cursor/trace does not change the state of the graph or chart. And 2), as you pointed out, you shouldn't see the prompt again when you exit the main dialog if you discarded your changes in the sub-dialog.
Bug 477231.
