[Javascript] Pop up in javascript

[Paul Novitski]

Sam,

Here's one way of doing what you want, using standard form submit methodology:

<script language="JavaScript">
function set(target) {
         if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?")){
                 document.forms[0].dispatch.value=target;
                 document.forms[0].submit();
                 // -OR-
                 document.location = "deletePage.html";
         }
}
</script>
...
<form action="deletePage.html" method=post>
<input name="dispatch" type=hidden>
<button onclick="set('delete');">Delete</button>
</form>
