Question

I have the following code setup to delete records from my database. It executes fine except for the javascript confirm message which never pops up. It just gets ignored completely and the record gets deleted. Any ideas why?

 connect_to_db();
    $query="SELECT id, date, title, image FROM content ORDER BY date DESC";
    $result=mysql_query($query);
    $message= "Continue?";
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo '<div id="delete" align="center">';
    echo '<a href="delete.php?id='.$row['id'].'" onclick = "if (! confirm('.$message.')) { return false; }" ><img src="'.$row['image'].'" style="border:1px solid black; width:100px;"><br>Delete</a>';
    echo '</div>';
}

Answer 1

Looks like a missing quotes issue:

echo '<a href="delete.php?id='.$row['id'].'" onclick = "if (! confirm(\''.$message.'\')) { return false; }" ><img src="'.$row['image'].'" style="border:1px solid black; width:100px;"><br>Delete</a>';
