Converting javascript to vbscript

I am trying to convert a javascript I'm using into a vbscript, unfortunately I don't know very much about either to make it possible. If anyone has any suggestions that would be lovely.

Here's the javascript:

Code:

<script language="javascript">
    function confirm_delete() {
        if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?")==true)
	return true;
    return false; }
</script>

and I'm using a ItemCreated function to pick it up in ASP:

Code:

    Sub DataGrid_ItemCreated(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridItemEventArgs)
        Select Case e.Item.ItemType
            Case ListItemType.Item, ListItemType.AlternatingItem, ListItemType.EditItem
                Dim myTableCell As TableCell
                myTableCell = e.Item.Cells(6)
                Dim myDeleteButton As LinkButton
                myDeleteButton = myTableCell.Controls(0)
                myDeleteButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm_delete();")
        End Select
    End Sub

in VBScript

Code:

Function confirm_delete()
   If(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?") = true) Then
      value = true
   Else
      value = false
   End If

   confirm_delete = value
End Function

Thanks, I actually wrote something close to that myself, so I know I'm on the right track. The next step is this function:

Code:

    Sub DataGrid_ItemCreated(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridItemEventArgs)
        Select Case e.Item.ItemType
            Case ListItemType.Item, ListItemType.AlternatingItem, ListItemType.EditItem
                Dim myTableCell As TableCell
                myTableCell = e.Item.Cells(6)
                Dim myDeleteButton As LinkButton
                myDeleteButton = myTableCell.Controls(0)
                myDeleteButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "vbscript:confirm_delete();")
        End Select
    End Sub

(I changed the line: ("onclick", "return confirm_delete();")
to: ("onclick", "vbscript:confirm_delete();")

Now, the message box comes up, but I'm not getting a return value of true or false. (By that I mean when you click Yes or No, it deletes the item regardless of the selection) Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help already

If you are doing this client-side you should keep it in JavaScript, and not do it in VBScript.

hehe actually I agree with you. I'm not even sure if it'll work in vbscript at all... My boss just has something against javascripts for some reason. But after getting him to take a look at it, he seems to think it should stay as a javascript this time (As in, we couldn't get the vbscript one to work

)

Thanks for your advice
