Problem with confirm pop up window

[spyros]

I have a link that I want when the user clicks on it a confirm pop-up to appear.
But it’s not working.
Can you please help me?

echo '
 </td><td width="15%" bgcolor="'.$bg_color.'" align="center" class="update"><div class="update">
<a href="index.php?autoid='. $autoid .'" class="update" OnClick= "return confirm("do you really want to delete")">DELETE</a></div></td></tr>';

onclick="return javascript:confirm('do you really want to delete');"

[spyros]

I tried this but it’s still not working

<script language="javascript">
function cconfirmation(aid) {
     var x = confirm("Do you really want to delete?");
     if (x == true) {
          window.location.replace(aid);
     } else {
          return false;
     }  

}
</script>

<td width="15%" bgcolor="<? echo $bg_color ?>" align="center" class="update"><div class="update"><a href="javascript:cconfirmation(/index.php?deletestu=1&category=STUDENTS&quest=stu&autoid=<? echo $autoid ?>)" class="update">DELETE</a></div></td>

Here is what I use in one of my script, you can modify it.

<script type="text/javascript">
          <!--
          function confirmRemoval(text){
            var confirmTXT = text;
            var confirmBOX = confirm(confirmTXT);
            if(confirmBOX == true){
               //do stuff
            }
          }
          //-->
        </script>

onclick="confirmRemoval('text');"

I think I see your problem ... change <script language="javascript"> to <script type="text/javascript">

[spyros]

thank you kudose
I tried what you told me to do but nothing

<a href="index.php?autoid='. $autoid .'" class="update" OnClick= "return confirm("do you really want to delete")">DELETE</a></div></td></tr>';

This won't work because the double quotes around the Javascript string literal are confused with the double quotes around the attribute value.

<a href="javascript:cconfirmation(/index.php?deletestu=1&category=STUDENTS&quest=stu&autoid=<? echo $autoid ?>)" class="update">DELETE</a>

This won't work either because now the Javascript string literal isn't quoted at all.

What are you doing to debug?
