OnClick Javascript confirmation window

Why does the following still delete, even if I hit undo in the warning popup? What am I missing?

onClick="confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete '.esc_attr($this->event_name).'?\')"

If you return false from your onclick handler, it will undo the default action of the click. So try the following:

 onClick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete '.esc_attr($this->event_name).'?\')"

This will return any value returned by confirm() , i.e. true if you click OK and false otherwise.

Check below ..

 <html> <script language="javascript"> function checkMe() { if (confirm("Are you sure")) { alert("Clicked Ok"); return true; } else { alert("Clicked Cancel"); return false; } } </script> <body> <form name="myForm"> <input type=submit value="Press Me" onClick="return checkMe()"> </form> </body> </html>

Write what you want to do in Click Ok .

Good luck !!!

You need to return the value from this confirm :

 onClick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete '.esc_attr($this->event_name).'?\')"

So, if you click cancel, it will be equal to onClick="return false"

You may need to use return false; when the user clicks the cancel button in your Javascript code. Otherwise, the script will not cancel the rest of the process.

You need to return the value from this confirmation:

 onClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?')"
