Simple Confirmation Code for a Delete Button

Les Juby

I've used a simple javascript for some time (no entries required up in
the <head> tag) that asks for a confirmation before deleting.

ie.
<a href="/delete.asp?whic h=345 %>" onclick="javasc ript:return
confirm('Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you want to DELETE this record
?')">Delete record</a>

On several sites I use short form constructs to generate a more
recognizable button, and would like to use a simple script such as
this to give the conformation option.

ie.
<form action="delete2 .asp" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="which2" value=345">
<input type="submit" value="Delete">

Could this script be modified.?

Any alternative.?

Sure it could.

Either

<form action="delete2 .asp" method="post" onsubmit="retur n confirm('Are you
ABSOLUTELY SURE you want to DELETE this record ?');">

OR

<input type="submit" value="Delete"o nclick="javascr ipt:return
confirm('Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you want to DELETE this record ?')">
