Alert method handling

[Maya]

I have a test with next buttons so the user can go to the next page. I have now added an alert box that displays the correct answer to the test question. The user has to click the OK button to close the alert, and then click the Next button on the same page to proceed, which is irritating. How do I get the user on the next page upon clicking the OK button of the alert box?

This is part of the code in the form:


<TR>
<TD valign=top width=30><A HREF="#" onclick="javascript:setImageClicked('1'); alert('Correct!');"><IMG SRC="../../../images/true.gif" WIDTH="58" HEIGHT="20" BORDER="0" name="img1"></A></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD valign=top><A HREF="#" onclick="javascript:setImageClicked('2'); alert('The correct answer is True.');"><IMG SRC="../../../images/false.gif" WIDTH="58" HEIGHT="20" BORDER="0" name="img2"></a></TD>
</TR>

The onclick is on the True and False buttons.
Thank you for any help.

After the alert statement, call the function that the Next button is calling.

I'm in a Frameset, and the Next and Previous buttons are not in the same frame as my test question. The Next button's function sits on a .js page. Could you tell me how to call it? Just inserting function navigateNext(); didn't work. Seeing that it gets called in a different frame, can I override it and push the user to the next page from within my main body frame? Apologies for the inexperience here.

The Next button's code looks like this, fwiw:

function navigateNext()
{
var topicNameLayer='';
var nextPage = "";
var documentLocation = "" + parent.contentFrame.document.location + "";

moduleNoArray = eval("module" + parent.moduleNo + "Array");

moduleNoPos = documentLocation.indexOf("module_");
topicNoPos = documentLocation.indexOf("topic_");
screenNoPos = topicNoPos + 18;

if ((moduleNoPos > -1) && (topicNoPos > -1) && (screenNoPos > -1))
{

moduleNoString = documentLocation.substring((moduleNoPos + 7), (moduleNoPos + 9));
topicNoString = documentLocation.substring((topicNoPos + 6), (topicNoPos + 8));

moduleNo = parseInt(moduleNoString, 10);
topicNo = parseInt(topicNoString, 10);
pageNo = parseInt(documentLocation.substring((screenNoPos), (screenNoPos + 2)), 10);

if (pageNo < moduleNoArray[topicNo][1])
{
pageNo++;

if (pageNo < 10)
{
nextPage = "module_" + moduleNoString + "/topic_" + topicNoString + "/m" + moduleNoString + "_t" + topicNoString + "_p0" + pageNo + ".htm";
}
else
{
nextPage = "module_" + moduleNoString + "/topic_" + topicNoString + "/m" + moduleNoString + "_t" + topicNoString + "_p" + pageNo + ".htm";
}
}
else
{
if ((topicNo + 1) >= moduleNoArray.length)
{
if ((moduleNo + 1) > parent.maxModules)
{
alert("You have reached the last page of this course.");
return;
}
else
{
// Moving to the next module.
moduleNo++;

parent.moduleNo = moduleNo;
moduleNoArray = eval("module" + parent.moduleNo + "Array");

// Updating the list of topics for the next module.
//displayTopics();

topicNo = 0;
pageNo = 1;

parent.currentTopicNo = topicNo;

if (moduleNo < 10)
{
nextPage = "module_0" + moduleNo + "/topic_0" + topicNo + "/m0" + moduleNo + "_t0" + topicNo + "_p0" + pageNo + ".htm";
}
else
{
nextPage = "module_" + moduleNo + "/topic_0" + topicNo + "/m0" + moduleNo + "_t0" + topicNo + "_p0" + pageNo + ".htm";
}


// REMEMBER
//parent.topFrame.topicName.innerHTML = moduleNoArray[topicNo][0];
}
}
else
{
// Moving to the next topic within the current module
topicNo++;
pageNo = 1;
parent.currentTopicNo = topicNo;
if (topicNo < 10)
{
nextPage = "module_" + moduleNoString + "/topic_0" + topicNo + "/m" + moduleNoString + "_t0" + topicNo + "_p0" + pageNo + ".htm";
}
else
{
nextPage = "module_" + moduleNoString + "/topic_" + topicNo + "/m" + moduleNoString + "_t" + topicNo + "_p0" + pageNo + ".htm";
}

// Change the Topic name in the top band
// REMEMBER
//parent.topFrame.topicName.innerHTML = moduleNoArray[topicNo][0];

}

}

// Jump to the next page

parent.contentFrame.document.location = nextPage;
}
}

Thanks for helping.
