PHP/MySQL/JavaScript Confirmation box

[Smifwes]

Hello,

Need a little help here. I have a table cell with a delete link.

Here's the the code....

<td><? echo '<a href=delete.php?id='. $id .'>' . Delete . '</a>'; ?></td>

I want to add a JavaScript confirmation box to this line of code so that it doesn't just delete the entry outright.

Thanks.

Hi,

Assuming that the id's are integers ...

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function check_delete(nID){
	if(confirm('Do you really want to delete this ... ?')){
		location.href = 'delete.php?id=' + nID;
	}
}
</script>

...

<a href="javascript:check_delete(<?php echo $id; ?>)">Delete</a>

I'm sorry, but there is a much simpler way that can work with all links regardless of what they do. Maybe we are thinking too hard?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
function check_delete()
{
	return confirm('Do you really want to delete this ... ?');
}
</SCRIPT>

<td><? echo '<a href=delete.php?id='. $id .' onClick='return check_delete()'>' . Delete . '</a>'; ?></td>

here is a non PHP ized one.... this can be used with any link or button using onClick
with any form using onSubmit but dont forget to say return

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
function check_delete()
{
	return confirm('Do you want to go to google ?');
}
</SCRIPT>
<a href='http://www.google.com' onClick='return check_delete()'>Go To Google</a>
