I''d like to add the :confirm option in the link_to_remote and replace the missing confirm function with Facebook''s Dialogs. function confirm(text) { dlg = new Dialog(Dialog.DIALOG_CONTEXTUAL).showChoice(''Confirm Request'', text , ''Yes'', ''No''); dlg.onconfirm = function() { return true; }; dlg.oncancel = function() { return false; }; } The above code doesn''t work because confirm needs to return true or false as seen below: if (confirm(''Really delete this record?'')) { new Ajax.Updater ... So, is there a way to make the onconfirm event listener return true to the confirm function so we can use the :confirm nicely in the link_to_remote tags? Has anyone else found a different way to handle this?
