Javascript confirm box inside PHP Echo function

Question

I have a link inside PHP Echo function called "Delete". When user clicks on it, the delete.php page is called and the selected book is deleted from the database. So, I would like to insert a confirmation box asking user if he is sure to delete the book but I don't know how to do it.

This is the code:

echo "<td><a class = 'echo_link' href='delete-book.php?ID={$Book->ID}'> Delete </a></td> \n";

Use this code:

echo "<td>
<a class = 'echo_link' href='#' onclick='if(confirm(\"message\")) location.href=\"delete-book.php?ID={$Book->ID}\";'> Delete </a>
</td> \n";

<td>
<a class = 'echo_link' href='<?php echo "delete-book.php?ID=$bookid"; ?>'  onclick='return confirm("Are you sure?");'> Delete </a>
</td> 
<?php echo"\n";
?>

-1, data-confirm? is that standard html? I do not think so. – Goikiu Jan 03 '14 at 08:35

AFAIK, HTML (at least HTML5) allows any `data-` attribute. – Spook Jan 03 '14 at 09:23
Only html5. And REMEMBER that html5 is not yet a standard -.- – Goikiu Jan 03 '14 at 10:10
