How to Ok or Cancel

[newuser666]

I need to add a simple error message when deleting a user in a mysql database from a php form.

Logic would be when a user presses a delete button a message should popup "are you sure" with options "Yes" or "Cancel"

If "yes" delete user, if "Cancel" simply return back and don't delete. I'm using <input type="submit" name="Delete" onclick="alert('Are you sure')">

I'm missing the cancel code. everything else works. Please help.

<script>
function sure() { return alert('r u sure?'); }
</script>
<input type=submit onclick='return sure();'>

I can't remember why, but it didn't work for me when I used alert() inside of a onclick event.

I dont see a cancel button even now.

this is what i have

<input type=submit value="Delete" onclick='Return confirm();'>

[su1d]

give it a name:
<input type=submit value="Delete" name=canc onclick='Return confirm();'>
and make sure that the button is inside of tags <form> and </form>

Then from there

<script language=Javascript>
function confirm()
{
c=confirm("Are you Sure")
if(c = ok){
delete it}
else{
return false}
}

Thats not all right but its close. Your suppose to put that in the head. But ive tried you can put it anywhere you like but it must be before anything being called for Javascript

<input type="submit" name="Delete" onClick="javascript: return confirm('Are you sure?');">

That works and is much easier than using a function 🙂

Before I finished posting I got it working on a text link, just wanted you to know that I spent at least an hour one day searching for this and got nothing suitable:

$head_nav="[ <a href=\"admin.php?delaid=$udaid\"".
		" onClick=\"javascript: return confirm('Are you sure?')\">delete</a> ".
		"| <a href=\"javascript:history.back(-1)\">cancel</a> ]";

Thank you
