ivytony Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I put this piece of code in the <head> part: <script> function confirmDelete(delUrl,name_cat) { if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete category "" name_cat ""nfrom the database")) { document.location = delUrl; } } </script> In the hyperlink, I did this: <a href="javascript:confirmDelete('manage_category.php?what=delete&catID={$cat_ID}','{$cat_name}')" >Delete</a> Right now, this javascript doesn't respond at all. I am wondering what is wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul2463 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 try this <a href="javascript:confirmDelete('manage_category.php?what=delete&catID='<?php echo $cat_ID; ?>','<?php echo $cat_name; ?>')" >Delete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul2463 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 try the <a href="javascript:confirmDelete('manage_category.php?what=delete&catID='<?php print $cat_ID ?>','<?php print $cat_name ?>')" >Delete instead of echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivytony Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 thanks, I tried print, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's an actual link: javascript:confirmDelete('manage_category.php?what=delete&catID=4','Electronics') cannot figure out why it doesn't work.

paul2463 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 if a function does nothing then it doesnt normally like the function , try this one function confirmDelete(delUrl,name_cat) { if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete category " + name_cat + "nfrom the database")) { document.location = delUrl; } } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
