Question

I got a foreach loop which display many forms like this :

<form action="cree-new-user.php"  method="post" class="formButtonForm">                                                      
    <input type="hidden" name="ent" value="<?php echo $corp->id;?>" />
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="delete" />
    <input type="submit" class="submit redform" value="delete" />
</form>

When i click on the Delete button it delete the objet in my database.
I would like to create a popup box to confirm if i “really” want to delete it.

I coded this with Javascript :

function Validate(event) {

  var thereturn = confirm("Voulez vous vraiment effacer cette entreprise ?");
    if (event) {
      if (!thereturn) {
         event.preventDefault();
      }
     } else {
   return thereturn;
   }
}

window.onload = function () {                                                          
 document.getElementByName("deleteEntreprise").onclick = Validate;                
}  

It should display a alert popup, but nothing pop…
Do you guys have any clues ?

Answer 1

Even if you get the button correctly you should validate in the form on submit event.

<form action="cree-new-user.php"  method="post" class="formButtonForm" onSubmit="return Validate();">

if you return false in the function it won t submit the form.
