I would like to know if I can call a javascript function when a button is clicked.</p> <pre><code><?php if ($_SESSION['access_rights']=='admin') { $id = $_GET['id']; $userName = $_GET['username']; echo "<a href='../view/confirmDelete.php?id=$id&type=task&username=$userName'><input type='button' class='delete-btn' value=''/></a> <a href='../view/editTask.php?id=$id&username=$userName'><input type='submit' class='edit-btn' value=''/></a>"; } ?> </code></pre> <p>The function I would like to call is as follows. This is placed in the head of the page.</p> <pre><code><script type="text/javascript"> function deleteTask(id,task,name) { var conBox = confirm("Are you sure you wanna delete task assigned to "+ name + " ?"); if (conBox) { location.href="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" } else { return; } } </script> </code></pre> <p>I was wondering if the function 'deleteTask()' can be called via a href like </p> <pre><code><a href="javascript" deleteTask('<?=id;?>','task','<?=userName?>');">Delete me</a> </code></pre> <p>else using onclick="deleteTask();</p> <p>I am required to pass arguments to the function. I am unable to the javascript call in href as it requires quote. Any ideas?</p>
