$('#profileclick').click(function(){

     $('#profile').submit();
});


$('#profile').submit(function( e ){
         e.preventDefault();

         // ........ AJAX SUBMIT FORM

Or simply add a delay before you submit using setTimeout ...

$('#profileclick').click(function(){    
     alert('Your details have been updated');
     setTimeout(function(){
             $('#profile').submit();
     }, 2000);

$('#profileclick').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault(); // prevents the form from being submitted by the button
    // Do your thing
    $('#profile').submit(); // now manually submit form
});

EDIT:

Just a note. This won't prevent the form from being submitted by other means, such as pressing Enter inside a text field. To prevent the form from being submitted at all, you have to preventDefault() on the form itself, as given in the other answer.

Using JavaScript to Show an Alert
The button includes the onclick attribute, which causes the showAlert() to be called when a user clicks the button. The onclick event also works for keyboard users. If a user navigates to the button using the tab key, then presses enter, that too will trigger the alert.

You could use Javascript:

$message = "wrong answer";

Alert is a special kind of method which is only used for Showing some messages,with a button is attached.Only we can write text in it.If you want an alert box with your own components, design a new one yourself.But it will never become an alert box.By using jquery you can do this ..paste it.

Here is the Jquery code for dialog box,paste it.

<html>
  <head>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> 
    <style></style>

     <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

$(document).ready(function() { 
var regex,v,l,c,b,i,contapara=3;




$( "#wnd_Addparam" ).dialog({
            autoOpen: false,
            height: 'auto',
            width: 350,
            modal: true,
            resizable:false,
            buttons: {
                "Link": function() {
                   location.href="http://www.google.com";
    return false;  },
                Cancel: function() {
                $( this ).dialog( "close" );
                }
            },
            close: {}
        });


                $( "#wnd_Addparam" ).dialog( "open" );


                    });
</script>
  <body>

<div id="wnd_Addparam" title="Information" ></div>

You can use it with JavaScript to like,

echo "<a href='onclick='javascript:function(id)''></a>";

and the javascript you can use it by,

function(id)
{
    window.location.href("file_name.php")
}

You can achieve it through Bootstrap modal instead of alert box. You can design it as according to your need.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

  <title>Bootstrap Example</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

  <script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<div class="container">
click on this link : 
  <!-- Trigger the modal with a button -->
  <span data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">www.google.com</span>

  <!-- Modal -->
  <div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
    
      <!-- Modal content-->
      <div class="modal-content">

          <h4 class="modal-title">Modal Header</h4>
        </div>
        <div class="modal-body">

By default scripts are stripped out when in visual view.

So there are a couple of options:

  1. Never use visual mode again (let's be honest, that's not going to happen ;) )
  2. Create a shortcode that will do the alert for you.

In your functions.php file add the following

/**
 * [alert_link url="https://example.com" message="This is the message" text="This is the link to click"]
 *
 * @param $atts
 * @param null $content
 *
 * @return string
 */
function my_alert_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
    // Set up your defaults and read from the shortcode parameters you enter in the page.
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            $url = '#', // This is the default URL for your shortcode should you leave that parameter blank
            $message = 'This is the message', // This would be the default message should you leave that parameter blank
            $text = 'This is the link to click', // This would be the default text that is made an anchor
        ), $atts, 'alert_link' );

    // Now format your output to include the parameters from above.
    $output = '<a class="my-alert-link" href="' . $url . '" onClick="alert(\'' . $message . '\')">' . $text . '</a>';

    return $output; // Return
}
add_shortcode( 'alert_link', 'my_alert_shortcode' ); / This registers your shortcode for use.

Once in place you'd just enter the shortcode like this and replace the default values as required:

[alert_link url="https://example.com" message="This is the message" text="This is the link to click"]

Shortcodes are a super helpful way to do things like add script or extra functionality without having to program it into the editor (which is inherently unsafe, which is why scripts get stripped).

Check out the WordPress shortcode documentation here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

A quick note too on the HTML you're using. While valid, FONT tags and spans used to set font-size, family, etc. are pretty darn old and should be replaced with CSS if possible.

Checkout HTML 5 Web Developer guide for semantics etc. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5

Not sure if this is your problem, but renderPartial() does not play well with AJAX. It is a known Yii issue:

http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php/topic/24699-yii-20-ajaxrenderpartial-conflict/ http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10427-ajax-clientscript

I ran into the problem when I tried to load a form via AJAX, then submit it back using CHtml::ajaxSubmitButton.

this->renderPartial('//blocks/user_info','', false, true);
