Simple Confirm pop-up

[jaminxz]

Hi guys,

 

i have some rows, each with a checkbox on a php webpage. When the 'submit' button is clicked, each row with a checked checkbox has its status field updated. This all works fine but now i have tried to put a simple javascript pop-up box in to ask the user if he/she is sure she wants to update the selected recrod(s). My problem is that if whatever the user selects (ok or cancel) the post still happens and the fields are updated. I'd really appreciated it if someone could look over a newbie's code and point me in the right direction!thanks in advance,

Jaminxz.

 

<!----------------in the head

 

<script language="javascript1.2">

 

var form_id;

function confirm_delete(go_url)

{

var answer = confirm("Are you sure to delete the  selected row?");

if (answer)

{

location=go_url;

}

}

</script>

 

 

<!---------------the form

 

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post" id="Updated_Rows_Form">

 

 

<!-----------the button

 

<input type="submit" name="Confirm" value="Close Selected" onClick="confirm_delete('<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>')" />

get rid of the onclick in the submit button, and change your form tag to:

 

<form action="" method="post" id="Updated_Rows_Form" onsubmit="return confirm('Are you sure to delete the selected row(s)?');"> 

...i also removed the action, since it will default to itself if it's empty
