How to confirm clicking on a link using jQuery

Question

I have many links in a HTML-table, which delete corresponding row, when clicked (calling a PHP-script via GET parameter).

They all have a class delete_row

Answer 1

Very simple and effective one line solution without using jquery:

<a href="to/your/path" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?');">Delete</a>

Answer 2

you can use preventDefault method of the event object in the handler function:

jQuery('.delete_row').click(function(event){
     if(!confirm('Really Delete?')){
         event.preventDefault();
     }
})

Answer 3

I think there is a error!

Use this:

$('.delete_row').click(function(){
    return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?");
});

Answer 4

Try this.

$('.delete_row').click(function(){
    return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?");
})

Answer 5

You could also call another function after confirm like this:

<a href="to/your/path" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?') && yourOtherFunction();">Delete</a>
