Answer 1

Call a function from the onclick instead, passing in the checkbox element. In the function, you can hide it’s parent <tr> (row) element.

echo "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"hide_cand\" id=\"hide_cand\" onclick=\" return hideRow(this)\"/></td>";

Javascript:

function hideRow(checkbox)
{
    if(confirm('This action can not be recovered, are you sure you want to HIDE this Candidate? '))
    {
        checkbox.parentNode.parentNode.style.display = "none";
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
