Question

I’m trying to put popup message in this code before user delete data. Here is my code.

while ($test = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    $id = $test['FailID'];

    echo "<tr align='center'>"; 
    echo"<td><font color='black'>" .$test['FailID']."</font></td>";
    echo"<td><font color='black'>" .$test['TajukFail']."</font></td>";
    echo"<td><font color='black'>". $test['JilidFail']. "</font></td>";
    echo"<td><font color='black'>". $test['StatusFail']. "</font></td>";    
    echo"<td> <a href ='daftarkemaskini.php?FailID=$id'>Edit</a>";
    echo"<td> <a href ='padamfail.php?FailID=$id'><center>Delete</center></a>";

    echo "</tr>";
}

but when I put it in there it doesnt work at all.

echo"<td> <a href ='padamfail.php?FailID=$id' onClick="return confirm('are you sure you want to delete??');"><center>Delete</center></";>"

Can anyone help me on this?

You need to escape the double quotes. Your code also had another syntax error at the end.

echo "<td> <a href='padamfail.php?FailID=$id' onClick=\"return 
confirm('are you sure you want to delete??');\"><center>Delete</center></a>";
