I have a form where a user can delete a record, and I want a pop-up message where the user has to click okay to confirm the delete.
Delete button:
<asp:Button ID="btnDelete" runat="server" Text="Delete" UseSubmitBehavior="false" OnClick="btnDelete_Click" OnClientClick="confirmation();" />
Confirmation function:
function confirmation() {
var answer = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete? This action cannot be undone.")
}
So right now, clicking the delete button executes the btnDelete_Click Sub in the code behind regardless of whether you click okay or cancel in the pop-up box. I know I can add if (answer) { -- some code here -- } in my javascript function, but is it possible to use javascript to execute code from the codebehind? Or is there another way to do this?
Please try as follows. You have to return the result of the confirmation function (true or false).
<asp:Button
ID="btnDelete"
runat="server"
Text="Delete"
UseSubmitBehavior="false"
OnClick="btnDelete_Click"
OnClientClick="return confirmation();" />
function confirmation() {
return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?");
}
