Alert Box

Jip

I have some JavaScript for an alert box that is for use within an anchor tag:

<body>
<a href="#" onClick="alertURL('delete_record.php?prop=<?php echo $getID; ?>')">Delete Project</a>
</body>

My problem is I need it work within the confines of an html button. This is how the button code looks right now (w/o the alert box functionality):

If I change it to:

then it doesn't call the alert/warning box. Any suggestions from JavaScript gurus is appreciated.

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">

function alertURL(url)
{ 
	if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete the project?")) 
	{ 
		location = url; 
	} 
} 

</script>
</head>
<body>

<?php
$getID = '123'; // just for testing

echo '
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="button" value="Delete Project" onClick="alertURL(\'delete_record.php?prop=' . $getID . '\')">
</form>
';
?>

</body>
</html>

Thanks - That worked perfectly!

In your original code posting:

input type=button onClick="alertURL('delete_record.php?prop=<?php echo $getID; ?>'">

You forgot to end the paranthesis:

input type=button onClick="alertURL('delete_record.php?prop=<?php echo $getID; ?>')">

BTW, if this is resolved, please mark it so!
