OK. It was suggested, that I need to use JavaScript to confirm the deletion of an object. Can I execute some dtml tags inside of a JavaScript? What I have is this: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function confirm_entry() { input_box=confirm("Deleting Document. Are you sure?"); if (input_box==true) { // Output when OK is clicked <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set('id', getId())"> <dtml-call expr="Documents.deleteDocumentFile(REQUEST, RESPONSE)"> <dtml-return expr="1"> } else { // Output when Cancel is clicked this.form.reset(); } } --> </script> <input type="submit" name="delete" onclick="confirm_entry()" value=" Delete Document " /> <input type="submit" name="cancel" onclick="this.form.reset()" value=" Cancel " /> of course, it doesn't work at all...
