Topic: confirm submit

Hi there,

I want to update my form that makes me delete items from my site.

The nw part should be a alert to confirm the submit. I got it this far:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function areyoureallysure()
{
var messageb = "Are you sure?";
if (confirm(messageb))
return true;
else
return false;
}
</script>
PHP Code:
<?
echo"
<form id=\"BestellingVerwijderen\" action=\"details.php\" method=\"post\" name=\"BestellingVerwijderen\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"n\" value=\"$n\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"d\" value=\"d\">
<table width=\"500px\" border=\"0px\" cellspacing=\"0px\" cellpadding=\"5px\">
<tr>
<td align=\"center\" class=\"groen\" colspan=\"2\">
<a href=\"javascript:areyoureallysure();\" class=\"pointer\">
<font color=\"red\">Klik hier om deze uitgave te verwijderen.</font></a>";
echo"</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
";
?>
The alert is there.. but no mather what I click (cancel or aprove) it will return to the page it comes from
instead of further submit the form and delete the part I wanted to....

Thanks & Regards

Try using an input type="submit" with onclick, or an onsubmit in the form tag.

yeah, you're not telling the link where to actually go...

what you need is either to do what reisio said (and tie the javascript conform to the onsubmit of the form), or you need to tweak your javascript to actually submit the form.

The former (reisio's) is they way prettier method!

On a completely unrelated note: why on earth would you wrap your HTML in PHP tags and echo it? What a pain in the ass escaping all those quotes for no reason...

(and...tables and font tags? you are making the children cry!)

That's the PHP motto.

don't forget that the enter key when focusing on form component is identical to pressing a submit button therefore you can choose from the following:
a) add a submit button (input type="submit") with no validation and add to the form onsubmit="return areyoureallysure()" (or perform inline confirm code)
b) add a button (input type="button") with full validation call (onclick) performing javascript submit to the form (document.getElementById(form id).submit()) and add to the form onsubmit="return areyoureallysure()" (or perform inline confirm code)

personally I prefer the following code

<form onsubmit="return confirm('Are you sure?')">
    ...
    <input type="submit">
</form>
