Javascript Yes/No

[Fawke101]

Hi there,

I have searched for some examples, but to no real avail, for a JS function
that displays a user Yes/No dialog box.
Basically, i have an ASP application that displays a SQL table on an ASP
page.

I have created a "Remove" hyperlink (in a loop) by each record and i need to
use an OnClick event so when the user clicks this hyperlink it displays this
Yes/No dialog.
At the moment the hyperlink simply removes the relevant record.

I need an OnClick event that displays a Yes/No box that when the user clicks
Yes - it goes to remove.asp, and when No is clicked it does nothing.

User Clicks Remove next to record > Yes/No dialog> Yes = remove.asp No =
End.

*****
*****
Current Hyperlink (passing ID variable in querystring - needs to be
maintained through the javascript:

<a href="remove.asp?ID=<% =server.URLEncode(RS("ID"))%>">Remove</a>
*****
*****

Any code/help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

=server.URLEncode(RS("ID"))%>');return false">Remove</a>

customConfirm would be a function that accepts the URL as a parameter,
then shows a DIV in the center of the screen with two buttons. The
buttons would have onclicks that when clicked, would either do nothing
(the NO button) or set location.href to the remove.asp page.

Would a confirm dialog be OK ?
You can't chnage the button text, but the meaning is clear.

if(confirm("You want this ?"))
alert("yes")
else
alert("No")

<a href="remove.asp?ID=<% =server.URLEncode(RS("ID"))%>"
onClick="confirm('Are you sure?');">Remove</a>

It's not really an ASP question.

<a href="URL" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to remove
this item?')">Remove</a>

If they click OK, it returns True and the link is navigated to. If they
click cancel, the confirm returns false and the href is not followed.

Shouldn't that be this?

...onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?')"...

I don't get it to work, it transfers me right away to the url, an
doesn't display a confirm window at all.

That's the point of returning a value -- to avoid the very problem you are
experiencing. Please review the above carefully.

If you would like something a bit more enlightening than formulaic, try the
following:

<A HREF="" ONCLICK="return false">Click here</A>

Observe its behavior. Now modify it slightly:

<A HREF="" ONCLICK="confirm('Really?');return false">Click here</A>

Again, observe the behavior. Last of all, go back to the structure of my
original suggestion, and see what it does:

<A HREF="" ONCLICK="return confirm('Really?')">Click here</A>

Now you should understand what you are doing wrong.
