[Building Sakai] Internationalizing a confirmation in RSF

[Brian Baillargeon]

@Steve:
onclick="return confirm('rsf:id="msg=confirm.message"')" was giving me 
trouble. I think the issue may have been this:
"return confirm(' rsf:id=" <- closes the double quotes, and at 
'msg=...'  it starts interpreting a new attribute. Escaping with &quot; 
was displaying the literal "rsf:id..." in the interface.


So to my understanding, rsf:id's are handled during a request processing 
cycle, so the only thing I could think of to grab confirm.message with 
javascript during an onClick is this:

<!--create a hidden html element with the text we need during the 
request processing cycle,
then confirm() will take its innerHTML as a parameter after the request 
processing cycle-->
<h3 id="confirmation" rsf:id="msg=confirm.message" 
style="display:none;"></h3>
<input type="submit" onclick="return 
confirm(document.getElementById('confirmation').innerHTML);" />

This works, but IMO this is an ugly work around, so if anybody thinks of 
anything better (perhaps using Ajax?), please let me know.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
