I need a confirmation box in order to ascertain whether someone wants to delete something using a form. I've managed to get a confirmation page to redirect on both ok | cancel and go to the target page on ok | cancel. But haven't managed to delete on ok, and stay on the same page on cancel :\ !

Here's the code:

Code: 
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- function confirm_del() 
{ 
           var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to delete?"); 
            if (where_to== true) 
           {
                   document.delete.action = 'delete.php';                                                
                    document.delete.submit(); // Submit the page 
           }
          
           else 
          { 
                 document.delete.action = 'currentpage.php'; 
                 document.delete.submit(); // Submit the page 
          }
 }
 //-->
 </SCRIPT>

...and here's the form (it takes a dynamically generated php hidden field as a variable to pass to the delete page. I took the form action out as it defaulted to delete whatever the confirm box did and tried to pass it to the jscript to decide the form action.

Code: 
<form name="delete" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="del_date" value="<?php echo $row['del_date'];?>"/> <input type="submit" value=" Delete " onclick="confirm_del()"/> </form>

I'm a jscript noob and have only ever done server side php and ASP before! I'm sure it's quite a simple solution and I'm being stupid, but found nothing on Google.

Thanks in adv.
