You have two levels of delete confirmation. Confirmation is nice and is required to prevent accidents but I have two concerns: 1) Two levels is a bit much. 2) The first level does not give much feed back -- just "Confirm you wish to delete this record?" -- but that is not too bad since it is a popup thus you can see what you just clicked. However the second level -- Do you really wish to delete this record? -- is on a page that shows no other information. "This records" means absolutely nothing. If you are going to have a second level at the very least state what is happening. E.g., -- Do you really wish to delete ID #30, Operator 'Sam'. Actually the first level of delete confirmation could also use better feedback but, as as I said, since it is a pop-up then it is not too bad. BTW: Thanks a bunch for simpleCRUD. It is very useful. -- Rick Westerman westerman@purdue.edu Bioinformatics specialist at the Genomics Facility.

Hi, Firstly, sorry I somehow missed this ticket for so long. Must monitor my ticket queues more carefully! On 2012-04-27 18:51:03, westerman wrote: Show quoted text

I'll have to check more carefully, but I believe you should only see the second confirmation if the first (Javascript) confirmation didn't work. If you're seeing both, it's not working correctly :) Show quoted text

Yeah, agreed, it would make sense for the separate confirmation page especially to confirm what you're deleting - however, without knowing how to describe whatever a record in the table represents, how to present that in natural English could be challenging. I'm not sure that e.g. "Do you really want to delete $thing $id" is massively helpful in most cases, as the ID (value of the key column) is probably not particularly meaningful. Show quoted text
