Javascript passes bootbox while waiting on confirmation

[Yohn]

heres a fiddle I made quickly to show the bug - http://jsfiddle.net/yohn/XSKYU/1/

whats happening is i when I click on the "Remove" button a javascript alert pops up saying undefinded instead of waiting for the results from the bootbox confirm popup. I understand how the callback function works, but as you can see in the fiddle I have 2 choices to make, and if the remove is clicked thats when I needed the confirmation box to stall the script until the user selects what they wanted to do, and then process to the ajax call or not, depending what they picked..

I just didnt want to have 2 ajax call within the same process, but i may have to do that anyways unless i figure out a way to have javascript wait..

Hey there,

Your issue isn't related to bootbox - it's related to asynchronous behaviour in general. One of your if ... else ... conditions is asynchronous whilst the other is synchronous, so you need to refactor your code to handle this. This is a common situation to encounter and is best handled by having the code you want to "block" / "wait" wrapped up in a method which you can just invoke either in a callback (async) or directly (sync). I've refactored your fiddle quickly here: http://jsfiddle.net/FBtv9/ which demonstrates the general concept that I'm talking about.

Cheers,

Nick

yeah, I figured out it wasnt bootboxes core causing it.. I ended up doing the whole thing a little differently and got it working :) thanks for the heads up!
