ok...I wanted to have a confurm box popup when you click to delete a post....here is my code:

echo "
<div align='center'>

<a href='guestbookdelete.php?id=$id' onClick='javascript:return confirm('Delete message?')'>Delete</a>

<table width='50%' height='110' border='0' cellpadding='0'cellspacing='0'>
<tr>.......rest of table...

now, for some reason, the link works, but no popup box appears to confirm it...its like th ejavascript isnt running in the echo....any ideas??

This should work fine:

<head>
	<script language="javascript">
				function ConfirmDelete(id){
                         var bConf;

                    bConf = confirm ("Do you really want to delete this record?");

                    if(bConf == true){

                            setTimeout("self.location = 'guestbookdelete.php?id"+id+"'", 10);
                    }else{
                            alert('Then why did you click on it in the first place :)');
                    }
            }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href='#' onClick='javascript:ConfirmDelete(<? echo $id;?>)'>Delete</a>
</body>
