Confirmation message is not working

Question

I am deleting a row from a table but before deleing i want a confirmation msg. I tried using onclick and onsubmit return confirm() but its not working. Any help would be nice.

 echo '<td><a href="#" title="Delete" rel='.$row['IO_ID'].' onsubmit="return confirm("Really Delete?"); class="button red">
        </a></td>';

Answer 1

You have syntax errors in your echo. This works:

 <table>
      <tr>
           <td><a href="#" title="Delete" rel='.$row['IO_ID'].' onsubmit="return confirm('Really Delete?');" class="button red">test
    </a>
           </td>
     </tr>
</table>

Answer 2

It would be

onsubmit="return confirm('Really Delete?');"
