Identify OK or cancel is clicked by user in Delete Confirmation message

Question

Hello,
I am using oracle APEX 3.2 ;
Can anyone please help me out with this issue. I want to identify whether OK or cancel button is clicked for the delete confirmation message when the delete button is clicked by the user. I am using the javascript
confirmDelete(htmldb_delete_message,'DELETE'); message for deleting a record. I have an alert message popped out after delete confirmation appears. Below is the javascript function which does alerts the user.
function deleteProcess()
alert('Successfully deleted the record. Please click OK to close popup window and \n refresh the parent window.');
window.close();//close the popup window
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
//call doSubmit function on the parent window to cause the page to refresh.
For the delete button; I have set the target: URL and
URL target: javascript:confirmDelete(htmldb_delete_message,'DELETE');deleteProcess();
By my problem is deleteProcess() function is executing even if I click cancel button on the delete confirmation message.
So, can anyone please help me like how to make the function deleteProcess() conditional ; I mean alert message should be popped out only when user clicks OK on the delete confirmation message.
Thanks,
Orton

Hi Orton,
Unfortunately confirmDelete() returns no value to test on (shame - that value can be very useful). As a work-around, replace your URL target with this:
javascript:if (confirm(htmldb_delete_message)) {doSubmit('DELETE'); deleteProcess();}Hope this helps,
John
