Javascript confirm box and delete query

[peterb1985]

I'm trying to write a confirmation box so that when a user clicks ok a delete query is run and if cancel is clicked nothing happens. The code i tried is listed below, which doesn't work, probably because its taken from different books. If anyone knows an easier way or a way that works. please help.


var tmpAction = "";
function checktext() {
if (tmpAction == "delete")
{window.confirm('Are you sure you want to delete contact?');
window.status=(temp)?'confirm: true':'confirm: false';}
return true;}
</script>


<cfif isdefined("form.delete")>
<script language="javascript" >
if (temp == "true")
<cfquery name="delete" datasource="saleswebtest">
delete from markcontacts
where recno='#form.recno#'
</cfquery>
opener.location.href="

http://cold/peterb/marketing.cfm?accountno=<cfoutput>#form.accno#</cfoutput>";

window.close();
</script>
</cfif>


Cheers
Pete

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Here is what I use:
<!---Link to call script --->
<a href="javascript: confirmDelete('#qListPOC.firstName#','#qListPOC.lastname#',#qListPOC.pocID#);" >Delete</a>

<!--- confirm function --->
<script language = "javascript">
function confirmDelete(firstName, lastName, POCID){
action = false;
action = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete: " + firstName +" "+ lastName);
if (action){
window.location = "deletePOC.cfm?pocid="+POCID
}
}
</script>

<!--- delete page --->
<cfparam name = "url.pocid" default = "1">
<cfquery datasource="#application.dsn#">
Delete from TMStoPOC where pocID = '#url.pocid#'
</cfquery>
<cfquery datasource="#application.dsn#">
Delete from contacts where pocID = '#url.pocid#'
</cfquery>
<cflocation url="listpoc.cfm">

To be invisible one might even open it a new window and then close it so the usero remains on the same page

you'd have to do a opener.reload to refresh the page. the way I do it, the cflocation goes back to the page with the updated info.
