and javascript incompatibility ???

[Arnaud Heritier]

Hello Guys!!

I've a little problem concerning the use of the html taglib and the javascript code.
I'm not sure that it concerns directly the html taglib or the html language itself.

The problem is that I would like to propose to the user to confirm an action before to 
do it.
I had written this javascript function :

function validateAndSubmit(theform,warningtext) {
    if (window.confirm(warningtext)) {
        alert('ok')
        theform.submit()
        return true
    } else {
        alert('not ok')
        return false
    }
}
and this JSP code :

<html:form action="delSetReq.do">
        <html:hidden 
                property="name" 
                name="requete"/>
        <html:image 
                src="img/poubelle.gif" 
                alt="Supprimer" 
                onclick="javascript:validateAndSubmit(this.form,'Etes-vous certain de 
vouloir supprimer cette requete de recherche de lots?')"/>
</html:form>


and it's WORK.
When I don't confirm nothing happends, whereas when I confirm the action executes.

So, now I would like to replace this button by an image.
I keep the same javascript code
and I replace the JSP by this one :

<html:form action="delSetReq.do">
        <html:hidden 
                property="name" 
                name="requete"/>
        <html:button 
                property="button" 
                onclick="javascript:validateAndSubmit(this.form,'Etes-vous certain de 
vouloir supprimer cette requete de recherche de lots?')">
                Supprimer
        </html:button>
</html:form>

Now in both cases (if I confirm or not), the action is called, but I get the good 
alert message from the javascript !!!!!!

I don't understand what it happends !!!!!

Is anyone have an idea concerning my problem.

Thanx all

PS : my configuration is :
OS : NT 4 SP6
WebApp Server : Tomcat 3.2.3
Browser : IE5.5
and Struts 1.0
