Confirm button before running deleting routine from website

Question

I have a page on my website that is dynamically created with information from an SQL database  As well as the data being displayed a delete link is also created for each record which links to a php file called deleteRecord php that deletes that record from the database     Is there any way I can incorporate a confirmation message so that when the Delete link is clicked it will only run the deleteRecord php file if the response is Yes

Call this function onclick of button    pass whatever you want instead of id    function doConfirm id        var ok   confirm  Are you sure to Delete         if  ok            if  window XMLHttpRequest                   code for IE7   Firefox  Chrome  Opera  Safari             xmlhttp   new XMLHttpRequest              else                  code for IE6  IE5             xmlhttp   new ActiveXObject  Microsoft XMLHTTP                       xmlhttp onreadystatechange   function                 if  xmlhttp readyState    4  amp  amp  xmlhttp status    200                    window location    create dealer php                                    xmlhttp open  GET    delete dealer php id     id              file name where delete code is written         xmlhttp send

You have 2 options  1  Use javascript to confirm deletion  use onsubmit event handler   however if the client has JS disabled  you re in trouble   2  Use PHP to echo out a confirmation message  along with the contents of the form  hidden if you like  as well as a submit button called  confirmation   in PHP check if   POST  confirmation   is set

You could use JavaScript  Either put the code inline  into a function or use jQuery    Inline    lt a href  deletelink  onclick  return confirm  Are you sure     gt Delete lt  a gt   In a function    lt a href  deletelink  onclick  return checkDelete    gt Delete lt  a gt    and then put this in  lt head gt     lt script language  JavaScript  type  text javascript  gt  function checkDelete        return confirm  Are you sure        lt  script gt    This one has more work  but less file size if the list is long  With jQuery    lt a href  deletelink  class  delete  gt Delete lt  a gt    And put this in  lt head gt     lt script src  http   code jquery com jquery-1 11 1 min js  gt  lt  script gt   lt script language  JavaScript  type  text javascript  gt    document  ready function           a delete   click function e           if  confirm  Are you sure                  e preventDefault                return false                    return true               lt  script gt
