Hello,
I used to use below code to make it confirm.
It worked fine until $title was "What's so amazing?"PHP Code:echo "<td<a href=\"makeAvailable.php?id=$id\" onclick=\"return confirm('Are you sure you want to share{$title}?');\">Share this item</a></td>";
As you see, $title has ' in that, so no confirm box is shown, just go to the makeAvailable.php right away.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem?
Thanks
hmm.. try this.. i typically use single quotes for html so i dont have to escape all attribute values..
PHP Code:echo '<td><a href="makeAvailable.php?id='.$id.'" onclick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to share '.$title.'?\')">Share this item</a></td>';
No it doesn't work
Try
PHP Code:echo '<td><a href="makeAvailable.php?id='.$id.'" onclick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to share '. addslashes($title) .'?\')">Share this item</a></td>';
Join the dark side, use print with double quotes....
PHP Code:print ("<td><a href=\"makeAvailable.php?id=$id\" onclick='return confirm(\"Are you sure you want to share $title?\",alert(\"eek a mouse!\"))'>Squash this item</a></td>");

alright well i have no idea what your problem is then.. i tried this and it works fine..
that works fine.. all i changed was i took out your <td></td> tags. also note in your original post you were missing a closing > on the first td..PHP Code:
<html>
<body>
<?php
$id=1;
$title = "What's happening";
echo '<a href="makeAvailable.php?id='.$id.'" onclick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to share '. addslashes($title) .'?\')">Share this item</a>';
?>
</body>
</html>
Edit:
and i added addslashes.
