如何在Coldfusion 8中生成确认弹出窗口

Question

I'm working on a CFC in Coldfusion 8 and I need to setup a confirmation popup before a person deletes a record. Here is my base piece of code I'm working with:

<!---Initiated when user clicks "Delete Association"--->
<!---User should be prompted by a popup to confirm intent to delete--->
<!--if user confirms delete, click event in popup triggers function below--->
<cffunction name="DeleteEmployeeAssignment" access="remote" 
       description="deletes selected employee from selected report assignment" 
       returntype="void">
    <cfquery name="qryDeleteEmployeeAssignment" datasource="Corp_Dev" dbname="Corp_Dev_DB">
        DELETE FROM [Corp_Services_Dev].[dbo].[AssignedReports]
        WHERE employeeID ='11283' AND assignedReport = '1'
    </cfquery>
    <!---User is given a success message on deletion--->
</cffunction>

Because this is before CF9 I can't use the CFwindow tag. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You could simply try return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?') as an onClick event on whatever is calling the method. You showed us the method that you are calling, but this would be on whatever is calling the method. So, if "Delete Association" is a button or a link, you should be able to use the onClick event there. Not fancy, but it should get the job done. Many other ways to skin that cat using the JavaScript library of your choice.
