if($str)
{
header("location:$return?msg=Record Deleted Successfully!&id=$id");
}else{
echo "Problem in deleting :";
}
}
}
}
my problem is where to add alert so that before deleting record it show javascript massage if allow then it will delete record.
function confirmSubmit()
{
var agree=confirm("Are you sure you wish to Delete this Entry?");
if (agree)
return true ;
else
return false ;
}
This line will show confirm dialogbox before redirect.
<a onclick="return confirm('Are You sure?')">...</a>
First you need to create the confirmSubmit() function
<script>
function confirmSubmit()
{
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?'))
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
</script>
Then you attach that to your A tag, as you have done..
<a href="..." onclick="return confirmSubmit();">blah</a>
<td width="100"><a onclick="confirmSubmit(id)"><img src="../images/delete.png" border="0" alt="delete"></a></td>
function confirmSubmit(delete_id)
{
var r=confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?");
if(r==true)
{
window.location.href = "delete.php?id="+delete_id"; ?>&table=labour_details&return=content_display.php"
}
}
You're probably looking for confirm.
Then, the body of the confirmSubmit
function would look something like:
function confirmSubmit() {
return confirm ("Are you sure you want to do this?");
}
This works due to how event handlers work in javascript. Confirm returns true
when the user clicks OK and false
when they click Cancel.
By returning a true
/false
value from an event handler function you tell the window whether to keep processing that event. Returning false
(which happens when the user clicks Cancel) tells the browser to stop processing the event and not follow the link.
<a onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?')" href="delete.php">delete</a>
