Add confirm Popup

Question

I have this code in line:

$action = "window.location = 'fruit_list.php.php?do=delete&id={$fruitdata['id']}";
echo '<a style="cursor: pointer" onclick="javascript:' . $action . '">Delete</a>';?>

Is there a way to add below code to make confirm box popup when link clicked?

 onclick="return confirm('are you sure?')"

Answer 1

You don't need to add return to the onclick, just

<a href='#' onclick='confirm("Are you sure?")'> Click </a>

Answer 2

$action = "if(window.event) event=window.event; event.preventDefault();if (confirm('Are you sure?')){window.location = 'fruit_list.php.php?do=delete&id={$fruitdata['id']} }";
echo '<a style="cursor: pointer" onclick="javascript:' . $action . '">Delete</a>';?>

Answer 3

Why you don't use href ?

<?php
$link = "fruit_list.php?do=delete&id={$fruitdata['id']}";
echo "<a href='{$link}' onclick='return confirm(\"Delete ?\");'>Delete</a>";
