Hi,
I'm working on a PHP FTP client, but my testers have complained the delete file
link is too easy to hit by mistake. Would it be possible/plausible to write a
bit of javascript that pops up a confirmation when they click the link, that
goes to a certain page if they click yes and does nothing if they click no?
I have no idea if this is tough or not. Any help with this would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
Craig

This is fairly simple to do, but very unreliable: if JavaScript is
disabled, there will be no confirmation option. The best thing to do would
be to list on a new page all of the files and directories that will be
deleted (or a summary of them), then get the user to confirm the deletion
that way.
If you still want to proceed with a JavaScript method:
<a href="delete.ph p"
onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?');">Delet e</a>

Yea I had a think and decided I do wanna go with the javascript. At the end of
the day if a user deletes a file by mistake when the alert doesnt popup its
still their own fault. The link is very clealy labelled, after all.
So that works a treat. Thanks!
<html><head><ti tle>href confirm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function linkRef(yurl ){
var linkref = yurl;
if(confirm("do you really want to go here?")){
window.location .href=linkref;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onClick="linkRe f('http://www.yahoo.com' )">Yahoo.com </a>
</body>

I have a <a href="javascript:top.window.close()"><img src="exit.gif"></a>
tag on my page that closes itself when you click on it.
What I NEED is for it to put up a confirmation message that simply asks
"This will end your session and close the window", then offers a cancel or
ok button. Clicking on ok closes both the page it was on, and the
confirmation window.
Can someone suggest a simple way to do this?

Hi,
I want to have confirmation(Yes/No) on a button of the webform in which
there are many validation controls. I want all the validation controls to be
triggered first and then Yes/No confirmation message. By adding just an
confirm attribute for 'onclick' event of the button doesn't work with
validation controls. Is there any short way to go around this.
Thanks

This is how I am trying to do it
