JavaScript confirm box with custom buttons

Question

Can I write a custom confirm box in JavaScript that, instead of the default OK and CANCEL button, shows a SAVE and DELETE

Answer 1

Use the jQuery UI Dialog Box for this.

You can do something like this:

JS:

$(function() {
  $("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
    resizable: false,
    height: "auto",
    width: 400,
    modal: true,
    buttons: {
      "Do it": function() {
        $(this).dialog("close");
      },
      Cancel: function() {
        $(this).dialog("close");
      }
    }
  });
});

<link href="http://jqueryui.com/jquery-wp-content/themes/jqueryui.com/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>



<div id="dialog-confirm" title="Is it treason, then?">
  <p><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-alert" style="float:left; margin:12px 12px 20px 0;"></span>Am I the Senate?</p>
</div>

Answer 2

$('confirm text').dialog(
    {
        modal:true, //Not necessary but dims the page background
        buttons:{
            'Save':function() {
                //Whatever code you want to run when the user clicks save goes here
             },
             'Delete':function() {
                 //Code for delete goes here
              }
        }
    }
);

This should work, but you will need to download or link to jQuery and the jQuery UI libraries to run this.

Not with the native JavaScript confirm box. You could use one of the many JavaScript UI components that emulate modal dialogs to do this instead.

Here's an example: https://jqueryui.com/dialog/#modal-confirmation

I've never used this so use at your own risk.
