Javascript "onclick" doesn't work embed with html & php

Question

I have this delete link with a javascript who will promt Yes or No. But i got nothing promted. I can guess it ́s the escaping from php etc. who puts stop in my code? The "onclick" uses "'". and the message uses "'". Is that the problem? And how do i solve it?

PHP/JS

echo "<td><a href='time.php?id=".$row['id']."' onclick='return confirm('Are you sure to delete this ?');'><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-remove text-danger'></span></a></td>";

Answer 1

You did not escape the quotes around "Are you sure...". Escape them using a \:

echo "<td><a href='time.php?id=".$row['id']."' onclick='return confirm(\"Are you sure to delete this ?\");'><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-remove text-danger'></span></a></td>";

This will output the following HTML:

<td><a href='time.php?id=XX' onclick='return confirm("Are you sure to delete this ?");'><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-remove text-danger'></span></a></td>

Answer 2

Do like this:

echo "<td><a href='time.php?id=".$row['id']."' onclick='return confirm(\"Are you sure to delete this ?\");'><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-remove text-danger'></span></a></td>";
