Guys,

what is worng with my sysntax
<cfif button eq "Delete">
<cflocation url="del.cfm?id=#id#" onclick="if(confirm('Are you sure you want
to delete #title#?') == false) return false;" title="delete">
</cfif
==============
ERROR:
Attribute validation error for tag CFLOCATION.
The tag does not allow the attribute(s) TITLE,ONCLICK. The valid attribute(s)
are ADDTOKEN,URL.
========================
I know the cflocation tag does not allow these, but what can I do to make it
work?

Thanks

Maybe you should read the docs...
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000284.htm

<cflocation> does not have an ONCLICK argument. How would you expect that
to work...?

Could try something like this...

You need to put the JS into the form, cannot put it on the CFLOCATION.

Other alternative is on process page have a check for which button was clicked
and have your confirmation message output to the screen rather than a JS
confirm box with a link for YES going to the del.cfm?id=#form.id# page and the
NO link going somewhere else.

<cfform action="" method="post">
<cfinput type="hidden" name="id" value="#id#">
<cfinput type="submit" name="button" value="Edit" class="buttonon">
<cfinput type="submit" name="button" value="Archive" class="buttonon">
</cfform>

<cfform name="myForm" action="del.cfm" method="post" onSubmit="return
confirm('Are you sure you want to delete #title#?')">
<cfinput type="hidden" name="id" value="#id#">
<cfinput type="submit" name="button" value="Delete" class="buttonon">
</cfform>

You could add the following to the suggestions from Adam and Zoe. It comes in 3
files, formPage.cfm, confirm_del.cfm and del.cfm.

formPage.cfm
==============

<cfset id = 123>
<cfset title="xyz">

<cfif isDefined("form.button")>
    <cfif form.button eq "Delete">
        <cflocation url="test1.cfm?id=#id#&title=#title#">
    <cfelseif form.button eq "Edit">
    
    <cfelse>
    
    </cfif>
</cfif>

<cfform action="#cgi.script_name#" method="post">
<cfinput type="hidden" name="id" value="#id#">
<cfinput type="submit" name="button" value="Edit" class="buttonon">
<cfinput type="submit" name="button" value="Delete" class="buttonon">
<cfinput type="submit" name="button" value="Archive" class="buttonon">
</cfform>

confirm_del.cfm
================
<html>
<head>
    <title>Confirm delete</title>
<cfoutput>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function confirm_del() {
            var x = confirm('Are you sure you want to delete #title#? (ID: #id#)');
            if (x == true) {
                /* User confirms intention to delete. Redirect user to del page */
                window.location = "del.cfm?id=#id#&title=#title#";
            }
            else {
                /* User does not wish to delete after all. Send user back to form page */
                window.location = "formPage.cfm?id=#id#&title=#title#";
            }
        }
    </script>
</cfoutput>
</head>
<body onload="confirm_del()">
<cfif isDefined("URL.id")>
    <cfset id = #URL.id#>
</cfif>
<cfif isDefined("URL.title")>
    <cfset title = #URL.title#>
</cfif>
</body>
</html>

del.cfm
=========

<cfif isDefined("URL.id")>
    <cfset id = #URL.id#>
</cfif>
<cfif isDefined("URL.title")>
    <cfset title = #URL.title#>
</cfif>
