I've installed the CMS Project from the CD on my machine and opened it up in VS 2005. When taking the application for a "test drive" I noticed that I can add content just fine but if I click the delete button to delete content from the content list, I get the "Are you sure..." message but when I press OK nothing gets deleted.

What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Hi there,

This issue has been reported before, and is described here: http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=45586

The solution I am presenting is a little verbose though; it's easier to change the code in ContentList.aspx.vb around line 32 to:

' Delete button found; add a confirmation dialog
deleteButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "if (!confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this content item?')) return false;")

Notice how the code only returns something when the user clicks Cancel. Previously, by returning true when you clicked OK, the default postback handler isn't triggered anymore.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Gracias! I knew it had to be something simple.

You're welcome.

BTW, instead of

deleteButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", ....

you could also use OnClientClick:

deleteButton.OnClientClick = ....

Same effect, but makes the code a bit more readable.

Cheers,

Imar
