[RESOLVED] Problem with ""(double quotes)!!

[anoopd]

Hi,

      I have a delete button that should show a javascript popup .. but it is not working right now  .. Will somebody help it out   ....

echo '<a href="javascript:deleteAlert('.$row['id'].');" title="Delete This Member">';

Here is the javascript

function deleteAlert(id)
            {
            var conBox = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this Member");
                    if(conBox){
                    location.href="./deleteUser.php?id="+id;
                    }else{
                    return;
                    }
            }
</script>

In what way is it not working?
After changing the echo so that something appeared on the page, like this

echo '<a href="javascript:deleteAlert('.$row['id'].');" title="Delete This Member">Delete This Member</a>';

and feeding it an id, the popup alert worked and then sent me to this address.

deleteUser.php?id=7

[anoopd]

 echo '<tr><td><a href="javascript:deleteAlert('.$row['id'].');" title="Delete This Member">';

          echo '<img src="images/delete.png"></a></td></tr>'  ;

When i hover over the delete.png it is showing javascript:deleteAlert(5) in status bar .. but it is not showing the alert and i am unable to delete it🙁

That still works fine for me, I know it might be a stupid question but are you clicking on the link, not just hovering.

As for it not deleting that would occur in deleteUser.php, and is a separate thing.

hi rincewind456

                           I am getting the error in firebug ...

deleteAlert is not defined
javascript:deleteAlert(5);()

I dont know what got wrong ....

[rincewind456]

This is the code I used

<script type="text/javascript">
function deleteAlert(id)
            {
            var conBox = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this Member");
                    if(conBox){
                    location.href="./deleteUser.php?id="+id;
                    }else{
                    return;
                    }
            }
</script>
<?php
$row['id'] = 7;
echo '<a href="javascript:deleteAlert('.$row['id'].');" title="Delete This Member">';
 echo '<img src="images/delete.png"></a>'  ;

No problems at all.

If the function is defined in a separate file, don't forget to include it with

<script type="text/javascript" src="fileWithDeleteAlert.js"></script>

Hi

       I dont know what went wrong but when i copy pasted the code it worked!!!! Then i tried one more thing ...;) to pass 'name' along 'id ' .. it is not working .. is there any chance for it to work?

<script type="text/javascript">
function deleteAlert(id,name)
            {
            var conBox = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this Member"+name);
                    if(conBox){
                    location.href="./deleteUser.php?id="+id;
                    }else{
                    return;
                    }
            }
</script>
<?php
$row['id'] = 7;$row['name']=Anoop
echo '<a href="javascript:deleteAlert('.$row['id'].', '.$row['name'].');" title="Delete This Member">';
echo '<img src="images/delete.png"></a>'  ;

You also need to change this line

location.href="./deleteUser.php?id="+id;

to this

location.href="./deleteUser.php?id="+id&name=name;

[anoopd]

hi
i just dont want to pass name to deleteUser just wanted to show name in confirm box ... i think it should be like the code below if i am going to pass both right ....?🙂

location.href="./deleteUser.php?id="+id+"&name="+name;

These double quotes are making life really hard🙁

[johanafm]

You're missing quotes around the name part

echo 'href="javascript:deleteAlert('.$row['id'].', '.$row['name'].');"';

Which will turn into something like

href="javascript:deleteAlert(4, steve);"

And since you don't have defined a javascript variable called "steve" (or whatever the name happens to be), you get a javascript parse error. You need single or double quotes around the name part, but since you have double quotes around the href attribute value, I'd suggest going with single quotes.

echo 'href="javascript:deleteAlert('.$row['id'].', \''.$row['name'].\'');"';

Which turns into

href="javascript:deleteAlert(4, 'steve');"

[anoopd]

Hi,
Again a single quote was not escaped .. I got it right now .. so it is

' href="javascript:deleteAlert('.$row['id'].', \''.$row['fname'].'\');"

Thank you soooo much for your time and concern ......
