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
