Is there an easy way to create a confirmation dialog using dojo-toolkit or spring-js?

Question

Hi,

In my spring webapplicaiton I would like the user to confirm the deletion of an item before actually do it. I've looked for a simple example using dojo, but so far I didn't come up with a solution that suits such a simple and common use case.

Any hints?

Answer 1

JavaScript has a built-in confirmation dialog that cannot get any simpler. It takes one argument, the message to display and returns true or false, matching the user's choice

if( confirm("Do you really want to delete this?" ) {
    // delete it!
}
else {
    // don't delete it
}

Answer 2

confirm is definitely the simplest way to do it, but it uses native controls. If you want to control the look and feel, you can use dijit.Dialog. One example can be found here, and it seems likely there will be some addition to the toolkit soon.
