javascript function and a bit of php?

[sophielois]

How can i enable a user to click a link which triggers an alert saying something like
"are you sure you want to do that"
then if the user clicks yes it continues to the url if the user clicks no it stays where it is.

been trying to play around with this

function checkCom(url) {
	if (confirm("Are you sure you want to do that")) {
		document.location = url;
	}
}

and

<? echo"<a href=\"'javascript:checkCom'/55731/can/can_complete.php?userid=$userid\">Mark as Complete</a>";?>

I have little JS knowledge so don't really know where to go from here?

plus im pretty sure my mark up is incorrect in the link code

just do something along these lines:

<a href="site.html" onclick="return confirm('are you sure?');">Click Me</a>

but it is important to note that if javascript is disabled, the site will be loaded without the confirmation. for this reason, it is best to check server-side, on site.html itself (in my example).

I don't know anything about PHP, but your JavaScript function looks fine. Of course, you will get 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons instead of 'Yes' and 'No' buttons. Is that one of your issues?

looks fine?

he'll need parentheses around his parameter...

checkCom(...)

That's in the PHP (which I already disclaimed my knowledge of). The JavaScript I was refering to as looking fine was NOT that included in the PHP snippet, but the function itself.

I noticed the parenthesis problem (and, it looks like, maybe a concatenation and quote problem?) in the PHP, but I don't know how to format PHP code, so I didn't know if that was okay or not.

Thanks for your posts guys, I've sorted the parenthesis problem.

I love it

he'll need parentheses around his parameter...

she'll need parentheses around her parameter...

oooh it sounds rude when you replace he with she

LFI,

checkCom is a javascript function...

Thank you, Cory.

I said the JavaScript function was fine and it was.

The problem you pointed out was with the function call (which was missing the parentheses).

Do you want to take this outside?
