Two easy Onlick/php questions

[Fritz]

<?php
<a  onClick=\"return confirm('Are you sure you want to remove *$sname*? ');\"  href='urltodeletionscript?id=".$row[shid]."'>
?>

Question #1: If $sname (shop name) contains a quotation mark or apostrope character... This warning box is bypassed and the listing is deleted without the option for the user - I don't really want to do a stripslashes for $sname and want the apostrophe' s to show...

How can I remedy this?

Question #2: With an onclick confirm such as this there seems to be a text limit ... the box will NOT wrap the text until it reaches about 600 pixels wide.. is there any way I can tell it to wrap text at say 200 pixels?

<?php
echo "<a onClick=\"return confirm('Are you sure you want to remove ".htmlspecialchars($sname)."? ');\" href='urltodeletionscript?id=".$row['shid']."'>";
?>

That should do it... use htmlspecialchars or htmlentities to replace the apostrophes to &apos; and you can wrap lines in javascript alerts using \n which will take you to the next line...

ie alert("This is going to be a really\nlong string that now is displayed\n in three lines");

Have phun 😉
