 Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 1:28 pm Post subject: Using Javascript to Show Confirmation Prompt (solved) |
 |
|
I'll try to describe this as best as I can.
I'm writing a page where I want to give the user the option to delete some of their data.
| Code: |
<a href="delete.php?record=<?php echo $i; ?>">Delete Record</a>
|
What little javascript code I have looked up either uses a button or depends on the javascript somehow to redirect the browser. If at all possible, I don't want to depend on javascript to make this happen, simply enhance it with a prompt. Can Javascript somehow cancel a link's action in the browser somehow if the user clicks "no"?
Or would a redirect to another page to confirm deletion sound better? (To me kinda sounds clunky.)

That looks like it will work, but it looks like it is using the Prototype framework. I've never used JavaScript much, let alone a framework based on it. Is there documentation on how to install the framework? It looks like I could use a few functions it offers.

Nevermind, I figured it out. A simple script include in the header of the page "installs" the framework.
Worked like a charm, will be using this in the future quite extensively I'm sure.

| Support for canceling a click via onclick=handler is native to Javascript and does not require the use of Prototype. (However, using Prototype may make it easier for you to mark up all the links consistently if you generate them from many places.) |
