Requests are not always the same in IE as in Firefox

Question

Hi,
I have an button among the items. With this button I want to delete data, but I need a confirmation for this.
First I create an own button template:
"Template class" is "Button"
In the field "Template" I put the following:
<a href="#LINK#" class="t20Button" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#>#LABEL#</a>Then I create a page and a button ("P2_LOESCHEN") among the items on this page by using the new button template.
"Button Request" is blank
"Button Request Source Type" is "Always Null"
"Attributes" is the following: onclick="javascript:deleteObject();"On the Page Header Text I put this:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function deleteObject() {
  var confUpd;
  confUpd=confirm('Soll gezählt werden?');
  if (confUpd) {
    doSubmit('DELOBJ');
</script>Then I create a process that has to execute in this condition:
"Condition Type": "Request Is Contained within Expression 1"
"Expression 1": "DELOBJ"At least I create a branch with the same condition:
"Condition Type": "Request Is Contained within Expression 1"
"Expression 1": "DELOBJ"In Firefox allthing is running good!
In IE I got two Request, if I click the button. First the request "DELOBJ" and after that a blank request. Sometimes the process is executing, but never the branch is executing.
I have the debug informations for the Firefox, for the IE if the process is not running and for the IE if the process was running and the branch not. Look for "A C C E P T: Request=", I dont understand the different outputs!
Debug with Firefox, allthing is good:

Answer 1

Hi Mark
You need to change the button template to this...
<a class="t20Button" href=#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#>#LABEL#</a>And amend the button attributes to this...
"javascript:deleteObject();"The href=#LINK# was also adding a blank doSubmit because you had no request value.
Cheers
Ben
