Hi All
I'm really not sure if this is php or, perhaps, javascript.
I have a php application in development. On one page I have a list of
information extracted from a mysql database. I have links beside each
line to edit or delete that informaiton (which calls a php function to carry
out the actual work).
I am trying to find a way to generate some sort of warning/confirmation on
the delete link. ie. I want to give people a warning before they delete
information out of the database.
I know I can do this by using loading a form on the page and getting
confirmation from it but I'm hoping to find a more elegant solution.
What I'd really like to do is get a windows-style requester appearing with a
warning and 'OK'/'Cancel' boxes. If they select OK then I'll go ahead and
delete the data - if they select cancel I'll do nothing more.
Mostly what I'm trying to do is have that ok/cancel take place before I do
anything with the page currently being displayed.
Can anyone offer pointers to a method of achieving this?
CYA, Dave
