Hi Michael,
Edit - Annoying post editor.  Change a.l.e.r.t to the js built in function by removing dots.

Try this... (caveat I didn't build it into a DNN module I tested it in a trivial Web App.) Pop it into script tags at the top of the page.

jQuery(function () {
jQuery(".confirmingGrid .DeleteButton") // Select items with the class DeleteButton within items with the class confirmingGrid
.click( // Attach a function that runs when they are clicked - you can probably replace this with dnnConfirm
function () {
a.l.e.r.t("Hit me. My name is " +

// Complex bit - to pick up data from a column in the same row!
// Firstly argument 2!!!
// 'this' will be the raw dom obect a user has clicked on (one of the delete buttons)
// $(this) wraps it so I can call jQuery methods on it
// parents("tr") searches upward to find the row that the button is in

// Argument 1 says look for the subscript 1 (Ie the second) td inside the context set by arg 2 (the row)
// Then I pick up the text from there.

// This is the part you will have to change to somehow get your confirmation data!
$("td:eq(1)", $(this).parents("tr")).text() ); });
});

For this to work you need to add the marker class 'confirmingGrid' (Ie a grid that can do confirmations! to the GridView, and the marker class 'DeleteButton' to the button you use to cause delete!

HTH.

Hi Richard,

thanks, and sorry for not answering earlier - I was on the way for some days as a speaker at the DNN Roadshow in Vienna (Austria) and Munich (Germany), so I could not try it earlier.

Your script works, the problem is: only once. After a confirmed deleting one item, it seems to go to sleep - no error message, nothing. The other problem is, I tried to replace the alert function by dnnConfirm, and I get an error message that dnnConfirm is an unrecognized function. No idea yet, but the thing is "on the way"...

Thanks for your help!

Best wishes
Michael
