Confirm Box with Javascript and PHP 1

[patrickstrijdonck]

Hi all,

In PHP section i asked how i can create a confirmbox before it will submit the form,

Here what i have now:

?>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!--                    
function checkAction(myMessage)            {    result=confirm(myMessage);               
if (result==true) { return true; } 
else 
{ return false; }            
}            
//-->
</SCRIPT>

and as button i have:

<input class="form_button" name="DEL" type="submit" value="Personeelslid Verwijderen" onClick="return checkAction(\'Weet u zeker dat u deze personeelslid wilt verwijderen?\')" />

When i press the button, it should go to the function, but instead, it justs submits the form.... without asking the question to confirm the delete....

Doing something wrong??

Remove the backslashes before single qoutes

<input class="form_button" name="DEL" type="submit" value="Personeelslid Verwijderen" onClick="return checkAction('Weet u zeker dat u deze personeelslid wilt verwijderen?')" />

Remove the onclick attribute from the input and instead make it an onsubmit attribute on the form.

Hope this helps,

Thank you all for the tips, removing the \ did the trick,

However, I'd say the correct place for code of this sort is still within the 'onsubmit' attribute of the form, as forms can be submitted on more ways than simply clicking a button - which your code will not trap.

Well, maybe you can show differente messages depending on how the form is submitted.

Ty for the tip, i use Onsubmit on other pages, but for this one, the Delete button is the only way to delete the record.... so its no big deal....


Ty anyway
