JavaScript Confirm Box
Feb 18
Many times, in life, one needs to confirm things. For example, you might be writing a UI for a nuclear submarine and you need to add a confirm box whether the link should be followed (which might as a result launch a nuke or delete a record) or not. You can do it the hard way by writing PHP/ASP code but I like to do it the easy way, by using JavaScript.
A really simple approach is:
| html | | copy code | | ? |
| 1 | <a href="nuke.php?launch=yes" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to destroy humanity?')">Delete</a> |
When the user clicks on it, this will produce the a pop up box, displaying that message and two buttons. If the user click yes, the link is followed otherwise nothing happens, and we live again
