I've done confirmation stuff like that before without the need for a popup... I'm pretty sure that delves into javascript, which I like to avoid at all costs. My solution was when the user clicked, say, "Delete", I had a panel next to it that contained confirmation text and two more link buttons. On that first click, all that happened was the second panel was made visible. Inside that panel, if they clicked the Yes button, the action would take place... if they hit No, the panel disappeared. Slick system, easily noticable, no javascript.

You can also do a similar thing with <div> tags if you feel like it. Panels worked fine for me, though.

So did that work for you or not?

[KingSatan]

nope

javascript would look more professional

So you're going to knock down my idea before you even try? You'd be surprised how professional it looks when it's done right.

[KingSatan]

d00d it doesnt work.

[timeshifter]

Yes it does.

How do I know this? Because I do it. I have it working flawlessly. And it looks very professional.
