Javascript Confirmation Question

[conrad10781]

Right now I'm trying to have a link that passes a parameter from a php array, that before it executes has a javascript popup confirmation box. I've tried to do it a few times, but the quotes keep delimiting each other in different languages and I'm not sure how to get around this.

 

currently my link looks something like this:

<?php echo'

<a onclick="If window.confirm(document.location='asdf.com?id=' . $dataArray[$index] . ' ">';

?>

blah blah

</a>

 

I think I'm making this a lot harder than it needs to be...

Try

 

<?php echo'

<a onclick="If window.confirm(document.location=\'asdf.com?id=' . $dataArray[$index] . '\'">';

?>

That's my current code and it's still not working :-/

 

<?php echo'

<a onclick="If window.confirm(document.location=\'pay_commission.php?skin_id=' . $products['id'] . '\'">';

 

 

if($products['commission_total'] >= 50){

echo "<b>Payment Due</b>";} else {

echo "No Payment Due"; }

?></a>

Now your PHP syntax looks correct, but you have a least one obvious Javascript syntax error.

 

You never close this function:

 

window.confirm(

 

Look at your HTML source to see what the printed Javascript looks like. This will help you determine your JS errors.

that's what I get for just copying and pasting your code :-P

So this is what my source says... and I'm baffelled that it doesn't work:

 

<a onclick="If window.confirm(document.location='pay_commission.php?skin_id=1')">No Payment Due</a>

wow, I'm going blind...

wow, I'm going blind...

 

 

Yeah, I'm not even sure how to answer you 'cause I can't even tell what's supposed to be happening.

 

You will need an href to get a clickable link. And I'm not sure what you expect to happen with window.confirm(document.location='pay_commission.php?skin_id=1').

yeah, I got it working fine... you can use text as a link in just an onclick. I didn't realize until I just looked at it I was trying to confirm the url I was going to instead of having a message... yikes I'm going home before I lose my mind. Thanks for all the help however, you're a super duper guy.
