<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> 
<!--  
function confirm_ex(){ 
if (confirm("Are you sure?")){ 
window.location="http://www.yahoo.com/"
} 
} 
// --> 
</script>

Ok, I have this code, the problem is.. window.location="http://www.yahoo.com/"
Is there a way so it can be like, "continue" or something like that?

Because when deleting a member, I would need the link to be constently changed. Which is able to be done on the function side.

This is the link that sets the box off.

<a href="#" onClick="confirm_ex();return false;">

THnx

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> 
<!--  
function confirm_ex(){ 
if (confirm("Are you sure?")){ 
return;
} 
} 
// --> 
</script>

This works, but returns false on both answers. "yes/no"

Are you able to, "return(true);" ???

if the user clicks "Yes" then the confirm() function returns true if not then its false.

if (confirm("sure?")({ //true }
else //false

wht do you mean "continue"? can you make it more clearer pls..

peace out

Ok, they click on the link to delete the user. Which is generate by

PHP Code:

<a href="users.delete.php?ID='.$data[$i]['id'].'"> 


Then I get the ID and it deletes the user.

Problem is, I cant set that link outside the SQL function.

So, the link

<a href="#" onClick="confirm_ex();return false;">

is inside the SQL function.

So it would need to be <a href="users.delete.php?ID='.$data[$i]['id'].'" onClick="confirm_ex();return false;">

Problem is. Is that...

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> 
<!--  
function confirm_ex(){ 
if (confirm("Are you sure?")){ 
return;
} 
} 
// --> 
</script>

... returns false, so even if they click yes, it stops, because it returns false.
And if I use "return true;" it returns true, and deletes the user even if they click no/cancel.

So for it to continue, It would need to return true. And return false = stop.


I hope thats indepth anough.
Thanks,
Lothop

You can pass the link to a variable

eg. i passed the link to variable url

EDITED

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function confirm_ex(url){
if (confirm("Are you sure?")){
window.open=(url, target="_self");
}
}
// -->
</script>

<a href="javascript:confirm_ex(users.delete.php?ID='. $data[$i]['id'].');">link</a>


if i got wht you mean, i think this should do the work.

No alert box is shown :/

Umm, I might try a different way, what's the code which makes a alert box open (with a yes/no) on page load?

Well, it isn't necessarily on a page load, but I think you mean:

alert(msg);

But that doesn't give a choice of yes or no.

Yes, meaning continue with loading the URL.
No, meaning stop and dont do anything.

Thanks for the help on this - you were close lothop... all you needed was a return before you called the function in the onclick.

as I am sure you realize a year later
