I have a new computer.

[pauraque_bk]

Well, my brother has a new computer, but he lives with me, so he gets to share. (Hey, I pay for the internet. And the electricity.) It runs XP, which doesn't exactly thrill me -- turn your head ninety degrees to the left and you'll see the face I make at it. But it has a functional registry, a functional video card, a non-abandonware sound card, and a non-tiny hard drive, so it beats the old computer.

Thus, my email woes are over, and I can once again reliably get mail at eo at morosophy dot com.


And hey, look, scribbulus_ink's running the Candy is Dandy challenge again this year. Sweet fun for all.


Oh, and I had a Javascript question. I know that if I do this...

if (!confirm("This story is rated NC-17 for explicit penguin sex. If you are hot for those cold, cold birds, click 'OK'. If not, click 'Cancel'."))
{
window.location="index.html"
}

...clicking OK will let them through, and clicking Cancel will redirect them to index.html. What I can't remember is how you do it so that they aren't redirected, but simply stay on the page where they clicked the link. Help?

I'm going to bet that using the self-referential variable this is involved.

Having almost never worked with Javascript . . . try
window.location="this"
or
window.location="this.href"
or
window.location=this

Hmmm. Okay, those didn't work for me.

But using break; or return; both did, although they oddly put a ? at the end of the URL.

Sorry, return; where? window.location=this.href; return true|false; ? Or am I remembering something else? (I haven't used Javascript for anything in a a long time.)

Okay, this is why I don't work with Javascript--I don't have enough of a clue about it, and it's this jumbled confusion of languages I do know.

if (!confirm("This story is rated NC-17 for explicit penguin sex. If you are hot for those cold, cold birds, click 'OK'. If not, click 'Cancel'."))
{
return;
}

That worked for me, without throwing errors.

(And I deleted the whole other thread because it got confusing.)

I'm ready to pound my head against something . . . I keep getting things that work, then I change them slightly and they don't work any more. Like the onclick thing I posted and deleted--it worked and then I tested it again and it didn't. I'm sorry--I think I've not been of much help, actually.
