closeConfirm

closeConfirm(":dummy", confirmed)

This function is used to simulate the user clicking Yes or No in the dialog that JavaScript pops up in response to a confirm function call in a web page's JavaScript code. The first parameter must be a fake object name (e.g., ":dummy"); the confirmed is a Boolean, with true indicating the user clicked Yes, and false indicating that the user clicked No.

Behind the scenes, when Squish tests a web application that executes a JavaScript confirm function call, instead of Squish allowing the dialog to pop up, Squish suppresses the dialog (if the browser allows this, otherwise the dialog will be automated), stops execution of the web application, and calls the closeConfirm function, passing true if it was recorded that the tester clicked Yes or false if they clicked No. Then Squish resumes the web application's execution, returning the true or false result to the application as the confirm function call's return value.
