[RESOLVED] Help with printf and location

Riche

Hi I am trying to use printf to delete a record by redirecting but i would like an alet first.

Heres what ive come up with but it does not work.

printf ("<td align=middle><b><input type=button value='$textbutton[14]' onClick=\"return confirm('$textconfirm[3]')\"location.href=\"%s\">%s</a></b></td>", "commands.php?command=2&cid=$cid&vid=".$vehicles["vid"],"");

The alert works but nothing happens after that .

If I change the line to read

printf ("<td align=middle><b><input type=button value='$textbutton[14]' onClick=location.href=\"%s\">%s</a></b></td>", "commands.php?command=2&cid=$cid&vid=".$vehicles["vid"],"");

It works fine but obviously no alert msg...

Can I do two events with a onlick? if so how?
Thanks for any help

This is more like JavaScritp question.
Try putting all this in an if statement:

I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's going to work.
I don't know how quotes should be slashed or which to put where, but the final JavaScript code should look like:

onClick="if (confirm('your text')){location.href='your href'}"

Hi thanks for your reply but I still can't figure this out :mad:

I cant find any examples simular to what I am after either 😕

echo '<td><input type="button"  value='.$textbutton[14].' onclick="location.href=\'commands.php?command=2&vid='.$vehicles['vid'].'&cid='.$vehicles['cid'].'\';return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete this vehicle\')"/></td>';

The above line kinda workd but when you press cancel it does not cancel the delete.

any ideas?

wilku's code sample is what I would suggest as well.

wilku basically gave you the Javascript code to use, you just had to a) insert the correct link, and b) escape whichever quotes (single or double) that need to be escaped so that you don't break the HTML.

If you need more help, you'll have to show us the code that you tried so we can see where you went wrong with implementing wilku's suggestion.

Ok then
I think i have already given the code above...
Thanks for the practical help...

I will try and find the answer elsewhere...

Heres the correct answer just incase someone else needs this

echo '<td><input type="button"  value='.$textbutton[14].' onClick="if (confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete this vehicle\')){location.href=\'commands.php?command=2&vid='.$vehicles['vid'].'&cid='.$vehicles['cid'].'\'}"/></td>';

Thank for atleast pointing me in the right direction
