this is easy but i am the worst at javascript. i want when you click on a link that it will alert saying "you sure you want to delete $variable_name" where variable name is the name of a hidden field. then if they click yes it continues with what it would do but if they click no then it stops and does not go to the link.

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function askOK()
{
    if (confirm('Dude! You sure you are OK with this??!')) return true;
    else return false;
}

// -->
</script>

<a href="somewhere_bad" onclick="return askOK();">Click me</a>
