  1. POUnexpected page refresh after callback function
    text
    copied!<p>Does anyone have any idea why the following callback doesn't execute the code within? I have a <code>window.onload</code> script (the only one) in my main <code>.html</code> page which is called, for some reason, immediately after the <code>fadeTo</code>. </p> <pre><code>$("#newentryform").fadeTo("fast", .25, function () { var newentry = prompt("Please enter a new item:", ""); if ((newentry != null) &amp;&amp; (newentry != "")) { var verify = confirm("Press 'OK' to confirm you wish to create a new entry:" + "\n" + newentry); if (verify == true) { processnewentry(newentry, dropid); } } }); </code></pre> <p>The above function is called from an <code>onclick</code> event in the main <code>.HTML</code> page.</p> <p>EDIT--code requested in comments</p> <p>This is the HTML around the button and onclick in question. The call is to the makenewitem function which is the function above.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="entryinput"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Item&lt;input type="text" id="createitem" readonly /&gt;&lt;button id="createitembutton"onClick="showbuttons(this.id)"&gt;Select...&lt;/button&gt;&lt;button id="createnewitembutton" onClick="makenewitem(this.id)"&gt;+ New&lt;/button&gt;&lt;button id="itemReset" onClick="resetbuttons(this.id)"&gt;Reset&lt;/button&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="createitemval" style="display:none" readonly/&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="createitemindex" style="display:none" readonly/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is the processnewentry function:</p> <p>function processnewentry (newentryvalue, dropid) {</p> <pre><code>if (dropid=="createnewitembutton") { dropid="createitem"; } else { dropid="olditem"; } var createnewItm=document.getElementById(dropid); createnewItm.value=newitemvalue; var createnewitemval=document.getElementById(dropid+"val"); createnewitemval.value=""; var createnewitemindex=document.getElementById(dropid+"index"); createnewitemindex.value="1"; $("#newitemform").fadeTo("fast", 1); var currentPage="newitembuttonpressed"; toggleStatus(currentPage); //disable inputs and buttons in form var hidebutton=document.getElementById(dropid+"button").style.display="none"; var subdropid=dropid.substr(6); var hidenewbutton=document.getElementById("createnew"+subdropid+"button").style.display="none"; var displaycreateinput=document.getElementById(dropid).style.display="inline"; </code></pre> <p>}</p>
