[SOLVED] How to add confirm message with link

How to add confirm message with link_to Ruby on rails

I wanted to add confirmation message on link_to function with Ruby.

= link_to 'Reset message', :action=>'reset' ,:confirm=>'Are you sure?'

Any ideas why it's not working?

Solution

First, you should verify that your layout have jquery_ujs. Best practice to do it by including it in your main application.js:

//= require jquery_ujs

Check that you included application.js in your layout:

= javascript_include_tag :application

While, in development mode, view your source html and verify jquery_ujs.js exists.

Run your server and verify your link tag has data-confirm value, for example:

<a href="/articles/1" data-confirm="Are you sure?" data-method="delete">

If all those steps are correct, everything should work!
