Question:
How can I prompt a user to confirm critical actions like deleting records?Answer:
Use the javascript confirm() function. It looks similar to the alert() box, but has an OK and a CANCEL button.If the user clicks OK, confirm() will return true.
Otherwise - escape, or click on CANCEL - it will return false.

<script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function confirm_entry(user_name, delete_url) { input_box=confirm("Do you really want to delete user " + user_name); if (input_box==true) { // clicked 'OK', so delete the record } } --> </script> <a href="javascript:confirm_entry('peter', '/cgi-bin/delentry.pl?peter')">delete peter</a> | ||
