Using the Confirm dialog

[RockOn]

I have a button to delete a record that is displayed in a list. The deletion is good to get to, but I would like the user to verify the deletion by pressing Yes in a dialog box asking. Is there an easy way to get to such a message box on the client side?

[Zecho]

This works at least in a Grid View:

<ItemTemplate> 
<asp: Link Button ID = "Delete" runat = "server" 
OnClientClick = "return confirm ( 'Do you want to delete this record ?');" 
Command Name = "delete"> Delete </ asp: Link Button> 
</ItemTemplate>

Now assumes that this is a DELETE command in any form for .NET component. I'm talking about a button in the interface that is not in some kind of itemtemplate etc.

[Zecho]

I assumes nothing. What I said was:

"This works at least in a Grid View."

You said nothing about the interface.

You're right. But I was looking for a way to get to a CONFIRM. I have tried to put on it but get error while running on the client side

If you have a button that performs the deletion (btnDelete in this example), you can fling this in your code:

btnDelete.Attributes.Add ( "onclick", "return confirm ('Are you sure that you are common to delete this)");

Is really just the same as Zecho says. Running a JavaScript dialog box with two buttons. Press 'ok' continues it; press 'cancel' nothing happens.
