passing condition

[ddtpmyra]

on my function script i wanted to direct my page into another when it passes my condition.

<script type="text/javascript">

function show_alert()
{ 
if (x > y)
  {
	alert ('value is okay');
	// what code to place here when i want to direct it to the next page?
  }
}
</script>

<form method="post">
<input type="submit" onclick="show_alert()" />
</form>

you may use:

window.location.href = 'whateverUrl';

kind regards

Alternative:

Since this is going to be called via a form submit, set the form action and then return true when the condition is met, and false otherwise. That way, this will work even if JavaScript is disabled.

Here what I have in placed

<form action="home.php" onsubmit="return validate_form()" method="post">

JS

function validate_form()
{
x=   parseInt(document.getElementById('Organization').value)+parseInt(document.getElementById('Agencies').value);
y = parseInt(document.getElementById('ActualAttendees').value)

if (x>y)
  {
	alert (x-y);
  }
else
  {
   window.location.href = 'home.php'; 
  }

}

what is the code exactly supposed to do? or better ... what exactly do you want to achieve?

kind regards

[ddtpmyra]

If the x is less than y... I wanted to allow the user to view the page (or html)

[gits]

then you should return false in the other case ...

[ddtpmyra]

can you show here how?

[gits]

put:

return false;

after your alert ...

kind regards

[ddtpmyra]

It works! Thanks a lot!

[gits]

glad to hear that :)

[ddtpmyra]

just a follow-up... now on my alert box i wanted to put string and variable value. I did this changes below but it doesnt take effect what else to do?

if (x>y)
  {
	alert ('your are over by:' x-y);
	return false;
  }
else
  {
	 alert (x);
     return true;
  }

[gits]

you need to do a operation with the values ...

alert ('your are over by: ' + (x-y));
