hey everybody... (hey dr. nick!),

i have a large form and i want people to be able to reset it. i dont,
however, want people to accidentally click the reset button. is it possible
for a very small popup to open and ask if they want to clear the form? is
this possible without being blocked by a popup blocker?
thanks in advance

You can do this client-side with the JavaScript confirm() method:

In the button's onclick (the *client side* onclick - you need to set it
through the Attributes collection), use this:

if (!confirm('Really reset?')) return false;

some notes:
- don't shorten it to "return confirm('..')", you do *not* want to
return yet if it's ok, because ASP.Net can add it's own javascript
after this (fire validators, start postback)
- don't forget the final ; as this will separate your code from the
auto-generated following code.
