javascript confirm help

[calv1n]

U have this in the HEAD section of my web page:

<!--
function confirmation() {
	var answer = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this folder?")
	if (answer){
		alert("Bye bye!")
		window.location = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/";[/URL]
	}
	else{
		alert("Thanks for sticking around!")
	}
}
//-->
</script>

Now I have this for my drop down menu:

echo "<form name=\"$formname\">";
echo "<td class=\"row\">";
echo "<br><select name=\"dropdown\" onChange=\"location=document.$formname.dropdown.options[document.$formname.dropdown.selectedIndex].value;\" value=\"GO\">";
echo "<option selected>-------------------</option>";
echo "<option value=\"cp.php?action=browse&path=$line\">Browse</option>";
echo "<option value=\"cp.php?action=add&path=$line\">Add Folder</option>";
echo "<option value=\"cp.php?action=rename&path=$line\">Change Name</option>";
echo "<option value=\"cp.php?action=upload&path=$line\">Upload</option>";
echo "<option value=\"cp.php?action=delete&path=$line\" onclick=\"confirmation()\">Delete Folder</option>";
echo "</select>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</form>";

So bascially when someone clicks on Delete Folder, I want the JavaScript to confirm the action. It kind of works. What I mean by that is if I click on Delete Folder, at the same time, it displays the popup and redirects me to the link.

Can someone please help me correct this problem?

Thank you.

Hi

Binding event listeners to [tt]option[/tt] elements like that, does not work. Move the check into the [tt]onchange[/tt] of the [tt]select[/tt].

Sorry, I don't know how to use JavaScript. :-(

Hi

And I do not know what that mess is. Please do not post server-side code. Next time paste the generated HTML from your browser's View Source window.

Anyway, with this modifications should work :

<select name="dropdown" onchange="if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].text!='Delete Folder'||confirmation())location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">

<option value="cp.php?action=delete&amp;path=$line">Delete Folder</option>
