jquery confirmation box thickbox
Jquery dialog can be made to work as a confirmation box in a similair way to thickbox.The link to the action (such as deletion), can be made to display a confirmation box before it completes, by simply adding a class to the href.
For example this link could perform a deletion, just like thickbox used to behave adding the class ‘dialog-confirm’ (the title is used to title the dialog confirm) will request the user to confrim firstly.
<a href="/demos/thickdialog/delete.php" class="dialog-confirm" title="Are you sure about this?">delete</a> |
Example: delete(example works fine outside of wordpress)
In order to do this you will need Jquery, and Jquery-UI and the code below.
Alternatively I have written a library called thickdialog which supports the confirmation box, pop ups and forms just by adding a simple class, which is compatible with any framework and can be downloaded from there.
// confirm box, add the class dialog-confirm and a title and it does the rest $(function (){ $('a.dialog-confirm').click(function() { var url = this.href; var dialog = $('<div id="dialog" style="display:none" title="Are you sure?">'+this.title+'</div>').appendTo('body'); dialog.dialog({ resizable: false, height:confirmBox_height, modal: true, buttons: { "Yes": function() { $(this).dialog( "close" ); window.location.href = url; }, "No": function() { $(this).dialog( "close" ); } } }); dialog.dialog('option', 'position', 'center'); //prevent the browser to follow the link return false; }); }); |
