Ramu, how are we supposed to know where that error is? We aren't psychics.

Post the relevant code and post the full error statement.

hi satas, can we write our own validation, i mean writing function like this::

onclick="gotodelete(row(id))";

can u help me out here.

with 'return confirm' i am not able to delete the record. But i am showing alert message and when pressing ok button , the page is just refreshing.

plz satas.

Hi Ramu528.
You should insert URL to some script that will delete the record.
e.g. < a href="delrec.php?rowid=1">delete</a>
In delrec.php you should receive rowid parameter and perform necessary actions.
After that you can return to previous page by using:
[PHP]header("Location: http://blah-blah.com/index.php");[/PHP]
