adding delete confirmation

[Mike Brearley]

How would I add a delete confirmation popup box for the following?

Here's what I have... A table (not a form) that contains this line:

<td align="center"><a
href="delete.asp?username=<%=rsUsers("username")%>&startletter=<%=startlette
r%>">Delete user</a></td>

And delete.asp looks like this...

----------------------------------------------
<%
Option Explicit
Dim username,rsDelete,startletter

startletter = Request.QueryString("startletter")

if Session("fewmetadminlogin") = "True" then

username = Request.QueryString("username")
%>
<!--#include file="../includes/conn.asp"-->
<%
set rsDelete = conn.Execute("DELETE * FROM users WHERE username = '" &
username & "'")

conn.close
set conn = nothing
end if

Response.Redirect("default.asp?startletter=" & startletter)
%>

---------------------------------------------

were a direct result of my fingers and brain not being synchronized or my

You can either do something in Javascript (in which post a question in
microsoft.public.scripting.jscript) or you can use ASP to post to another
form where the question can be asked.

By the looks of it, you are looking at a Javascript solution..

startletter = Request.QueryString("startletter")
if Session("fewmetadminlogin") = "True" then
if request.querystring("confirm_delete")="Yes" then
username = Request.QueryString("username")
%>
<!--#include file="../includes/conn.asp"-->
<%
set rsDelete = conn.Execute("DELETE * FROM users WHERE username = '"
& username & "'")
conn.close
set conn = nothing
else
%>
<a href="<%=request.servervariables("url")%>&confirm_delete=Yes">Aww, go
on then</a>
<%
end if
end if
Response.Redirect("default.asp?startletter=" & startletter)
%>

Here's something similar I've done using onclick and JavaScript:

<% ' *** btnDel %>
<input type="submit" name="btnDel" value="Delete" onclick="return
confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this record?');">
