Alert popup should not save
I created a javascript help popup alert and when the user 'ok' the message the record saves when it should just acknowledge 'ok' and allow the user to continue editing the form. How can I fix this? ...
Forum Discussion
What action triggers the popup alert and what code is being used?

I am using a javascript alert function, below is my code
"javascript: (alert ('1. You must select all healthcare options before totals will calculate.\\n2. A PEG Company and start date/effective date are required in order for the Healthcare Option to populate.'));"

- I see above where you're saying that it's to help a user properly fill out a form, but what action or event happens on the form that triggers the alert? Is it an action by the user (e.g. pressing the save button, a custom button)? A javascript event (e.g. focus, blur)? If a custom button, is there anything else in it besides what you provided?

------------------------------- There is a help button that is there for the user to press that will trigger the popup alert.

------------------------------- Ok, if there is no other javascript interfering with the alert, try this:
"javascript:void(alert ('1. You must select all healthcare options before totals will calculate.\\n2. A PEG Company and start date/effective date are required in order for the Healthcare Option to populate.'));"
The addition of the void function should keep you on the page after "OK" is pressed on the alert.
