[themailsian]

Dear All,

I have a problem with delete confirmation code in java script.

i m using this code:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function confirmSubmit()
{
var agree=confirm("Are you sure you wish to continue?");
if (agree)
return true ;
else
return false ;

}

</script>

in Asp page on click of hyperlink tage message displays and on click of Cancel the next page is called where as in simple html file hyper tag code acts properly.

please suggest in this regars what i have to day and where i m making mistake

Hi:

The javascript seems to work perfect even in asp page.

I can't find any mistake in the syntax of Javascript.

I presume you are giving link in your asp script like

<a href="nextfile.asp" onclick="confirmSubmit()">Click here</a>

If you are using response.write to generate the hyperlink use chr(34) to produce the double quote character (")

Sharing some more code will help us to guide you better

Hi,
Use this code

response.write "<a href='nextfile.asp?mode=delete&id=5' onclick='return confirmSubmit()'>Delete</a>"

return is compulsory here as we will need to stop the onclick event.
