Hello, I have the following line of code...

<td><? echo '<a href=delete.php?id='. $id .'>' . Delete . '</a>'; ?></td>

How can I add a JavaScript confirmation box to this line of code?

Thank!

Well, since you are using a confirm dialogue, you'll want to actually use the users choice.
Here's a small page showing the basics, and degrades for those without javascript enabled/capable browsers.

Code:
<html>
 <head>
    <title>Confirm</title>
    <script>
    	function goTo(url) {
    		if (confirm("Do you want to go to " + url + "?"))
    			document.location.href = url;
    	}
    </script>
 </head>
 <body>
	<a href="http://www.apple.com" onclick="goTo(this.href); return false">Go to Apple</a>
</body>
</html>

Hope that helps.

Yeah, I tried some other code similar to what you have above but I can't get it to work with the PHP code that I posted.

something.php:

[php]
<html>
<head>
<title>Confirm</title>
<script>
function goTo(url) {
if (confirm("Do you want to go to " + url + "?"))
document.location.href = url;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="delete.php?id='<?php echo $id ?>'" onclick="goTo(this.href); return false">Go to Apple</a>
</td>
<td> Something else</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
[/php]

What is actually happening at your end for it not to be working? What errors is it throwing?
