Javascript confirm delete inside PHP help

[itsover9000]

hi guys im trying to create a javascript prompt that will ask the user to confirm or cancel the delete command
below is my code

i cant seem to get it to work
[php]<?php
ob_start();
include(‘connectdb.php’);
?>

    <title>Student List</title>

<?php /* VIEW.PHP Displays all data from 'students' table */ // get results from database $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM students ORDER BY lname ASC") or die(mysql_error()); // display data in table echo "STUDENT LIST

"; echo ""; echo ""; // loop through results of database query, displaying them in the table while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { // echo out the contents of each row into a table echo ""; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ""; } // close table> echo "

Student Number	Student Name	Level	Eligible for next School Year	Enrollment Status
' . $row['stud_no'] . '	' . $row['lname'] . ", " . $row['fname'] . " " . $row['mname'] . '	' . $row['level'] . '	' . $row['eligible'] . '	' . $row['estatus'] . '	Edit	Delete

"; ?>

Add a new record

Return to Admin Main Page [/php]

the red text is the one im having problems on
what happens is the data automatically deletes the file from the database without the javascript prompt showing
