Question

Apologies if this is overly basic, but I couldn’t find much info with my searches.

I have a simple link: <a href="delete">delete</a>.

Clicking the link deletes an item from my database.

How do I make the link show a popup (JavaScript alert box?) with a message:

Are you sure? [Yes] [No]

I’d like to use jQuery instead of inline JavaScript, if possible.

Start by giving your element an id.

 <a href="delete" id="delbtn">delete</a>

Then:

<script>
      $(document).ready(function(){

                $('#delbtn').click(function(){

                         return confirm("Are You sure");

                 });
      });
</script>
