I have a HTML form which, when submitted I want a popup to appear saying 'Are you sure you wish to submit?', with yes and no options. The yes will contnue submitting the form, and the no will do nothing at all but close the popup.
Bear in mind i'm not a programmer

Give this a try - you can't have yes / no unless you use VBscript, then it wont work in Netscape etc. You can have OK / Cancel option though:
Add this javascript to your page:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function submitForm(formName) {
if(confirm("Are you sure you wish to submit?")) {
document.forms[formName].submit();
}
}
//-->
</script>
Then your submit button for your form would be:
<input type="button" name="submitButton" value="Submit" onclick="javascript:submitForm('myForm')">
Change myForm to the name of your form, and make sure the button type is "button" and not "submit"

everything works except when you actually click OK, the form doesn't submit. Nothing happens.The VBScript version would be better as we only use IE. Could you convert the code??
Cheeky - i'm sorry.
