Rails - Oct 2008 - link_to_remote :confirm => as JavaScript function (dynamic)

Hey all,

Normally you can use the :confirm functionality of link_to_remote to
specify the text of a confirmation dialogue.

For example, :confirm => "hello" generate:
<a href="#" onclick="if (confirm(''hello'')) {
new Ajax.Request ...

I''d like to replace "hello" with a JavaScript call (so that
the
confirmation dialogue can contain text based on what a user has so far
done on the page.  If I try to pre-emptively close the quote, it ends up
just getting escaped, and the function name is simply displayed:

:confirm => "''+myFunction()"
<a href="#" onclick="if
(confirm(''\''+myFunction()'')) { new Ajax.Request
...


Any idea how I might accomplish a dynamic confirmation dialogue?

Thanks!!
-Jason

Have you tried :before instead of :confirm
   You''ll have to do your own confirm dialog but your function can
build the confirm string any way you want
