Need help with an alert box

[Linkan]

I am using a sql 2000 db from where I use data in my asp application. When I delete a record I would like a confirmation alert to pop up where I can cancel or ok my acction.
Can someone give me some hints in this matter.
Thanks for a great forum.

You can use the javascript function, confirm():

From DevGuru:

confirm("message&quot

This method brings up a dialog box that prompts the user to select either 'o.k.' or 'cancel', the first returning true and the latter, false.

The following example opens a new window, creates a button in the original window and assigns the closeWindow() function to its onClick event handler. This function prompts the user to confirm the closing of the new window.

<form action=&quot;&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; id=&quot;myForm&quot;>
<input type=&quot;Button&quot; name=&quot;&quot; value=&quot;Close&quot; id=&quot;myButton&quot; onClick=&quot;closeWindow()&quot;>

<script type=&quot;&quot; language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

myWindow = window.open(&quot;&quot;, &quot;tinyWindow&quot;, 'toolbar, width=150, height=100')

function closeWindow() {
       myWindow.document.write(&quot;Click 'O.K'. to close me and 'Cancel' to leave me open.&quot;)
       


if (confirm(&quot;Are you sure you want to close this window?&quot;)) {


              myWindow.close()
       }
}

</script>
</form>

hope it helps!

Hi Jonas,

You can use a link with the attribute onclick to call the asp-page that delete the record like:

<a onclick=&quot;&quot;{return(window.confirm('Are you sure...?'));}&quot;&quot; href=&quot;deleterecord.asp?RecordID=recordnumber&quot;>linkname</a>

Hope this helps,

Erik

I made to quickly a copy out of my source with double &quot;&quot;, but I think you should use this single &quot;

<a onclick=&quot;{return(window.confirm('Are you sure...?'));}&quot;
