Question

confirm delete

Asked by: dirklance

greetings,

i'm trying to write a function that i can pass a record ID to then pop a confirm box asking whether they really want to delete the record, if yes then  window.location.replace the querystring w/ the id to the delete.asp page.

heres the funtion thus far.  the only problem is it deletes the first record always.
<script language="JavaScript">
      <!--
            function confirm_entry()
            {
            input_box=confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this product?");
            if (input_box==true)

            {
            // Output when OK is clicked
             window.location.replace("deleteProduct.asp?fProdID=<%=objRs("prodID")%>&fAcctNo=<%=request.querystring("fAcctNo")%>")

            }

                  else
                  {
                  // Output when Cancel is clicked
                  alert ("Delete Cancelled");
                  }

            }
      -->
</script>

<a href="javascript:confirm_entry()"><img src="Images/btn_delete.gif" border="0" /></a>
