Re: How do I use a confirm box to confirm before deletion from a database

Hi If you have a delete "link" then try this : <script language="javascript"> function confirmThis(url) { if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete ?")) { window.location = url; } } </script> Then you can generate the delete link dynamically with PHP eg : <a href="javascript:confirmThis('delete.php?id=xxx')">Delete!</a> This should pop up a OK/Cancel dialog box type confirmation.

When a user clicks upon a delete link that deletes a record from a database, I would like to be able to give them the option to OK or Cancel this action. I have tried coding the browsers built in confirm box (I can bring up this) but am unable to combine it with php or a combination of php and a javascript funtion Thanks, Ivan
