Question

The following code is working correctly on localhost, but not on the server. I think ‘confirm’ is a kind of plugin function.

var ask = confirm('Are you sure');
if (ask){
    $('.loading_gif').show();
    $('.delete_link').hide();
    return true;
}
else{
    return false;
}

I want to use some built-in function to do same thing. How can I do this?

Thank you

Answer 1

confirm is a javascript method to provide a prompt with an ok, or cancel button (browser dependent i think). the if(ask) statement checks to see if ask = true, when the cancel prompt's ok button is clicked, it returns true to the function, if cancel button is clickd, false returns. This is not a problem with the scope of this function.
