How to make a delete confirmation that need a minimum of 1 record to be deleted?



I need help on making a delete confirmation that need a minimum of 1 record to be deleted. I'm still confused on making it. I think there's something wrong in my javascript code. Any help would much be appreciated. Thanks





here's the php code:







enter code here



<script src="javascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<?php

echo"<form method=POST action='action.php?act=delete'>

<input type=checkbox name='checkbox[]' value='1'>1

<input type=checkbox name='checkbox[]' value='2'>2

<input type=checkbox name='checkbox[]' value='3'>3

<input type=submit value=Delete onClick='return del_confirm();'></form>";

?>







here's the javascript code:







enter code here



function del_confirm()

{

var msg=confirm('Are you sure?');

var c=document.getElementsByName('checkbox[]');

if(msg)

{

for(i=0;i<c.length;i++)

{

if(c[i].checked)

{

return true;

}

else

{

alert("Select minimum of 1 record to be deleted!");

return false;

}

}

}

else

{return false;}

}

  1. Your logic is a bit off:

    function del_confirm() {
    var msg = confirm('Are you sure?');
    var c = document.getElementsByName('checkbox[]');
    if(msg) {
    for(i = 0; i < c.length; i++) {
    if(c[i].checked) {
    return true;
    }
    }
    // This has to be outside the for loop,
    // that way it only gets here if every box is not checked
    alert("Select minimum of 1 record to be deleted!");
    return false;
    } else {
    return false;
    }
    }​


    You had the alert inside the for loop so the first unchecked box returned false for the function.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
