VistasHow can I do multiple delete in js?
I want to have a confirmation before deleting an account. How can I do it?
This is the picture for the UI of the accounts.
This is the html code.
<a href="uses_script.php?user_id=<?php echo $row['id'];?>&username=<?php echo $_SESSION['user_username']; ?>"
id = "del"
data-toggle="tooltip"
data-placement="top"
title="Delete">
<i class="mdi mdi-close"></i></a>
This is the javascript.
const deleteIcon = document.querySelectorAll("del");
deleteIcon.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
const confirmVar = confirm("Do you want to proceed? ");
if (!confirmVar) e.preventDefault();
}
What I want to do is before deleting users I want to have a confirmation that when I click OK it will delete and when I click cancel it will just close.

This might be the correct code.
const deleteIcon = document.querySelectorAll("#del");
deleteIcon.forEach ((element) => {
element.addEventListener("click", (e)=>{
const confirmVar = confirm("Do you want to proceed?");
if (!confirmVar){ e.preventDefault();}})
})
I have iterated through the buttons to add the event listener for each of them and I have also added the e parameter so that it identifies the event.
NOTE: addEventListener doesn't work for a collection of elements. You will have to iterate through each element.

Your listener is not applied to the element correctly.
Use a # in your Query Selector to target an element by ID:
const deleteIcon = document.querySelector("#del");
However, as there are multiple lines it might not be the best idea to use an ID for the delete button, use a class instead.
Add class="del" (or a class name of your choosing) to your <a> element and use the following Query Selector (using a . means selecting a class):
const deleteIcons = document.querySelectorAll(".del");
This will return a list of elements you can later iterate over to add event listeners to it:
deleteIcons.forEach(function(element) {
element.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
const confirmVar = confirm("Do you want to proceed? ");
if (!confirmVar) e.preventDefault();
});
});
