Javascript and Confirm

[caroline.doidge]

This is a weird one and I am wondering if someone can help?

I have a piece of Javascript
function deleteRequest(searchID) {
if (confirm('Are you sure?')){
location = "index.php?spDB=inactive&searchID="+searchID;
}
}

When the page gets reloaded, it runs a database query and something is
made inactive.

The problem is:
When the confirm box appears, if I press OK quickly, the database query
doesn't happen. If I wait 1 second and then press OK, it is fine and
the query is run.

Basically it appears that the time between the confirm javascript
appearing and the time taken to press the Ok button affects the
reloading of the page.

Has anyone else had an issue like this?

Cheers for anyones help.
Caroline

hi caroline,

That's quite weird .. have you tried to use window.location =
"something"; instead of location=''";
is the only things that comes to my mind right now.

take care,
marcos.
