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? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/96185-my-javascript-doesnt-work-pls-help/ 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.
