Java Script not working in PHP

[shnkrsv]

Am trying to use this very simple code for delete a record from my db. But before that i have to prompt the user for confirmation to delete or not. So am using this simple script in php, but its not working... Please some one help.

Code: Select all

<?php
Print "<td><a href='full_delete.php?id=".$info['id']."&article_name=".$info['name']."&table_name=$table_name' onClick='confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?');'><img src='../images/deletebutton.png' id='delbtn' /></a></td>";


On clicking the link, it just redirecting without the confirmation msg box.

I dont have issue in deleting, the confirmation msg box not prompting.

Please someone try to solve my simple question..

You should remove the href and have the onClick action handle all of the redirection.

Code: Select all

   
<?php
    Print "<td><a href='#' onClick=\"confirmDelete('" . $info['id'] . "','" . $info['name'] . "','" . $table_name . "')\"><img src='../images/deletebutton.png' id='delbtn' /></a></td>";


So that is a lot of change. I am not calling a confirmDelete JavaScript function that takes 3 variables: id, name, table_name. I am no longer supplying a href for the anchor tag.

Now to show you what the confirmDelete function will look like.

Code: Select all

<script type='text/javascript'>
      function confirmDelete(id,name,table_name){
              var r=confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?");
              if (r==true){
                    window.location = "full_delete.php?id=" + id  + "&article_name=" + name + "&table_name=" + table_name;
              }else{
                    return false;
              }
      }
</script>


This issues the prompt and when the response is "true" the page will be redirected accordingly.

Thank you Nullsig, but i found a easy way to do that...

This code works good...

Code: Select all

?>
<td>
<a href='full_delete.php?id=<?php echo $info['id'] ?>&article_name=<?php echo $info['name'] ?>&table_name=<?php echo $table_name ?>&index_img=<?php echo $info['img'] ?>&url=<?php echo $info['url'] ?>' onClick="return confirm('You are about to delete <?php echo $info['name'] ?> and its Gallery. Are you sure you want to delete?')">
<img src='../images/deletebutton.png' id='delbtn' /></a></td> <?php

Really thank you for your interest to solve my problem...
