Confirm Deletion Using Bootstrap 3 Modal Box

Answer :

You need the modal in your HTML. When the delete button is clicked it popup the modal. It's also important to prevent the click of that button from submitting the form. When the confirmation is clicked the form will submit.

   

 $('button[name="remove_levels"]').on('click', function(e) {
      var $form = $(this).closest('form');
      e.preventDefault();
      $('#confirm').modal({
          backdrop: 'static',
          keyboard: false
      })
      .on('click', '#delete', function(e) {
          $form.trigger('submit');
        });
      $("#cancel").on('click',function(e){
       e.preventDefault();
       $('#confirm').modal.model('hide');
      });
    });

<form action="#" method="POST">
  <button class='btn btn-danger btn-xs' type="submit" name="remove_levels" value="delete"><span class="fa fa-times"></span> delete</button>
</form>

<div id="confirm" class="modal">
  <div class="modal-body">
    Are you sure?
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <button type="button" data-dismiss="modal" class="btn btn-primary" id="delete">Delete</button>
    <button type="button" data-dismiss="modal" class="btn">Cancel</button>
  </div>
</div>

You can use Bootbox dialog boxes

$(document).ready(function() {

  $('#btnDelete').click(function() {
    bootbox.confirm("Are you sure want to delete?", function(result) {
      alert("Confirm result: " + result);
    });
  });
});

Plunker Demo

I've the same problem just today. This is my solution (which I think is better and simpler):

<!-- Modal dialog -->
<div class="modal fade" id="frmPrenotazione" tabindex="-1">
    <!-- CUTTED -->
    <div id="step1" class="modal-footer">
      <button type="button" class="glyphicon glyphicon-erase btn btn-default" id="btnDelete"> Delete</button>
    </div>
</div>

<!-- Modal confirm -->
<div class="modal" id="confirmModal" style="display: none; z-index: 1050;">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-body" id="confirmMessage">
            </div>
            <div class="modal-footer">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" id="confirmOk">Ok</button>
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" id="confirmCancel">Cancel</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

And in my .js:

$('#btnDelete').on('click', function(e){
    confirmDialog(YOUR_MESSAGE_STRING_CONST, function(){
        //My code to delete
    });
});

function confirmDialog(message, onConfirm){
    var fClose = function(){
        modal.modal("hide");
    };
    var modal = $("#confirmModal");
    modal.modal("show");
    $("#confirmMessage").empty().append(message);
    $("#confirmOk").unbind().one('click', onConfirm).one('click', fClose);
    $("#confirmCancel").unbind().one("click", fClose);
}

Using unbind before the one prevents that the removal function is invoked at the next opening of the dialog.

I hope this could be helpful.

Follow a complete example:

var YOUR_MESSAGE_STRING_CONST = "Your confirm message?";
      $('#btnDelete').on('click', function(e){
    		confirmDialog(YOUR_MESSAGE_STRING_CONST, function(){
    			//My code to delete
          console.log("deleted!");
    		});
    	});

        function confirmDialog(message, onConfirm){
    	    var fClose = function(){
    			  modal.modal("hide");
    	    };
    	    var modal = $("#confirmModal");
    	    modal.modal("show");
    	    $("#confirmMessage").empty().append(message);
    	    $("#confirmOk").unbind().one('click', onConfirm).one('click', fClose);
    	    $("#confirmCancel").unbind().one("click", fClose);
        }
