I have a link button on my aspx page in 1.1 that allows a user to delete a row, but i need to put in a confirmation, I tried a javascript version, but it shows the popup but still deletes the record, how can I change this to work correctly.

Private Sub myDataGrid_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles myDataGrid.ItemCommand
        Dim MobId As String = e.Item.Cells(0).Text

        If (e.CommandName = "Delete") Then
            RegisterClientScriptBlock("showMessage", "<script language=""JavaScript""> confirm('This will delete this UIC and all associated Records.'); </script>")

            sql = "Delete from tblUnitDeployData where intUnitMobId = " & MobId & " go Delete from tblUnitPostion where intUnitMobId = " & MobId "

        End If
        insertUpdateDelete(sql)
        DatagridFill()
    End Sub

Hi,

I am posting a sample code. Please go through it.

<asp:LinkButton id="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text="Delete" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Delete" OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure to delete?')"></asp:LinkButton>  

Still using ASP.net 1.1  don't have access to the onClientClick command that 2005 and up have.

Just add this in your page load (or vb equivalent)

string msg = "Construct some question to ask the user";
string confirmMsg = "javascript:return confirm('" + msg + "')";
yourLinkButton.Attributes["onclick"] = confirmMsg;
