如何在提交父页面之前触发我的局部视图警报？

Question

I have a partial view with a submit button on it. I want to send an alert fire an alert when the button is clicked. If I remove the line…

return false;

The page is submitted and the alert will fire after the page is submitted. If I leave 'return false' in the if statement the page won't submit the alert wont fire either. How can I get my partial view alert to fire before the parent page is submitted?

Here's my code:

 <script type="text/javascript">


$(function () {
    var selectedName = $("#selectAname");
    $("#sendMail").click(function () {
        if (selectedName.val() == "Worng Choice")
            alert("You need to select the correct name")
        return false;
    });


});

Thanks for any suggestions!

If I understand you right, you want to fire an alert on wrong choice and cancel submitting the form, you need to move return false into block with if (wrong choice):

$(function () {
    var selectedName = $("#selectAname");
    $("#sendMail").click(function () {
        if (selectedName.val() == "Worng Choice") {
            alert("You need to select the correct name");
            return false;
        }
    });
});
