I am using the following code to delete a record from a database. But I am facing a problem: when I click on "cancel" in the confirm box then it deletes the record. If I click cancel
it returns false but how does it delete the record?
What am doing wrong?
Javascript code:
function ConfirmDialog() {
var x=confirm("Are you sure to delete record?")
if (x) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
PHP code in view:
<?php
echo anchor('user/deleteuser/'.$row->id, 'Delete', array('class'=>'delete', 'onclick'=>"return ConfirmDialog();"));
?>
Try This:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="delete(<?php echo $row->id;?>);">Delete</a>
and use this in your script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var url="<?php echo base_url();?>";
function delete(id){
var r=confirm("Do you want to delete this?")
if (r==true)
window.location = url+"user/deleteuser/"+id;
else
return false;
}
</script>
Everything in one line
<?=anchor("user/deleteuser/".$row->id,"Delete",array('onclick' => "return confirm('Do you want delete this record')"))?>
Are you getting any Javascript errors in the console? I suspect that some other Javascript may be interfering. This simple test page works fine:
<?php echo anchor('user/deleteuser/'.$row->id, 'Delete', array('class'=>'delete', 'onclick'=>"return confirmDialog();")); ?>
<script>
function confirmDialog() {
return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this record?")
}
</script>
I use This in my code
<a href='<?php site_url('controler/function/$id');?>' onClick='javascript:return confirm(\"Are you sure to Delete?\")'>Delete</a>
Try this
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="return isconfirm('<?php echo site_url('user/deleteuser/'.$row->id); ?>');">Delete</a>
Then your function will be like:
function isconfirm(url_val){
alert(url_val);
if(confirm('Are you sure you wanna delete this ?') == false)
{
return false;
}
else
{
location.href=url_val;
}
In your View:
<?= anchor("admin/delete_article/{$article->id}", 'Test', ['name'=>'submit', 'value'=>'Delete', 'class'=>'btn btn-danger', 'onclick'=>'return confirm()']);
?>
OR
<?=
form_open('admin/delete_article'),
form_hidden('article_id', $article->id),
form_submit(['name'=>'submit', 'value'=>'Delete', 'class'=>'btn btn-danger', 'onclick'=>'return confirm()']),
form_close();
?>
JavaScript in your View:
<script>
function confirm(){
job=confirm("Are you sure to delete permanently?");
if(job!=true){
return false;
}
}
</script>
See webGautam answer Here
<?=
form_open('admin/delete_noti'),
form_hidden('noti_id',$notification->id),
form_submit('submit','Delete',array('onclick' => "return confirm('Do you want delete this record')",'class'=>'btn btn-danger float-center')),
form_close();
?>
This is the deletion code. first of all we open form admin is our controller name and delete_noti is the function inside admin controller. We are sending id as hidden form. Here $notification is the variable which is passed through method which is available in controller.
