What if you do this:
<%= submit_tag ‘Create’, :confirm => “Are you sure you would like " +
$(‘funding_transaction_deposit’).innerHTML() + " dibits deposited?” %>

Submit tag is probably going to escape any attempt at including actual
javascript in the confirm text (I’d consider it a bug if it didn’t).
You’re probably going to need to craft the button’s onclick by hand
(You could look at the autogenerated javascript and then replace the
confirm message with something similar to what David suggested.

Is there no way to assign the val to a var and just putting it in the
string?

I had this originally:

%= @deposit = javascript_tag
“$(‘funding_transaction_deposit’).innerHTML” %>

<%= submit_tag 'Create', :confirm => "Are you sure you would like #{@deposit} dibits deposited?" %>

not the way submit_tag generates it’s javascript.

Ok I am doing it the manual way, how do I get the value to show up? Are
the
quotes correct?

<input id=“funding_transaction_submit” name=“commit” onclick="if
(!confirm('Are you sure you would like ’ +
$(‘funding_transaction_deposit’)

  • ’ dibits deposited?’) return false; return true;" type=“submit” />

The simplest way to do the return true/false stuff is:

...

The return false (which happens if the confirm is cancelled) stops the
form submission directly. I imagine you could do the same with your
onclick event on the button, but putting it in the form submission
makes it pretty foolproof, since the button might not be clicked
(someone types Enter and the form submits without a click).

Oh, sorry I missed that. If you have Prototype in your page, then the
syntax to get a form field’s value is

$F(‘theIdOfTheField’)

The quotes look fine. If you don’t have Prototype, then the syntax
would be something like

getElementById(‘theIdOfTheField’).value

For what? unless you quote the relevant part of the original email and
put your responses inline anyone who happens to stumble into the middle
of your issue is unlikely to be able to help.

You’re debugging JavaScript now, so use the tools that let you do that.
