Does this answer your question? [How to display a confirmation dialog when clicking an link?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10462839/how-to-display-a-confirmation-dialog-when-clicking-an-a-link). Note that the accepted answer, first option doesn't work (it's your case), you should use a more elaborate script with `if`. – dirkgroten Dec 31 '19 at 11:34

Also what's the `` for? You're not using it since you're not submitting any form. You should **never** delete something on a GET request, it would be much better if your script submitted a form with POST. – dirkgroten Dec 31 '19 at 11:36
