向按钮单击添加警报

Question

I have been trying to add a alert to my button which updates a users details in a database.

I have tried adding a onclick method directly to the button and using functions but it doesn;t seem to work.

My button is;

<input type="submit" id="profileclick" value="Update" class="button-link"/>

And I am submitting the form by: (if it is important)

<form id="profile" method="post" action="../script/updateUserDetails.php">

One of the ways I tried was

$('#profileclick').click(function(){
 alert('Your details have been updated');
 $('#profile').submit();
});

In all instances the details update but I do not receive a alert.

Answer 1

$('#profileclick').click(function(){    
     alert('Your details have been updated');
     $('#profile').submit();
});


$('#profile').submit(function( e ){
         e.preventDefault();

         // ........ AJAX SUBMIT FORM
});

Or simply add a delay before you submit using setTimeout ...

$('#profileclick').click(function(){    
     alert('Your details have been updated');
     setTimeout(function(){
             $('#profile').submit();
     }, 2000);        
});
