confirmation screen
allows you to confirm a deleted annotation in case you hit the wrong fergen button | |
The summary says it all. We need a confirmation screen on that [delete] option. I accidently hit the delete link (stupid touchpad) and deleted a very beautiful annotation. Forgive me beaux :-(

waugsqueke, I don't think the poster was deliberate in their deletion. |
|
| |
(But please, please, _do_ delete annotations, that's why I put that link there. Many of the annotations are stupid, off-topic, or grow old fast.) |
|
| |
I really don't want everything to take two round trips if I can avoid it; confirmation screens annoy me, so I've tried to keep them to a reasonable minimum (account deletion and idea deletion are rather big.) |
|
| |
If it's really important, you can always send email to bakesperson@halfbakery.com and explain; chances are, the annotation's text is still in a logfile somewhere and can be patched back in. |

Undo beats confirmation any day, but that's probably a little much to ask. |
|

Hey, how about ALL the links behave as described by
PeterSealy? That would make things very exciting and
would build stong, accurate mousing skills. |
|
| |
damn my mouse flashed over this annote button for a couple of nanoseconds whilst i tried to access the Start menu. |
|
| |
How about a javascript confirm dialog (maybe it can be turned on and off in user options?) |
|
| |
just add onClick="code to popup a dialog box, return true if yes, false if no" to the delete link - IIRC, if an onClick event on a link returns false the link is not followed. |
|
| |
(i can come back with actual code to put in that spot if you want) |

Jutta has, in the past, expressed something of a dislike for client side script but, hey, you never know, she may have changed her mind along the way. |
|
| |
How about replace the delete link with a checkbox and then have a "delete checked items" link at the end of the page |
|
| |
this would of course be more work to implement, but could be done all server-side with only one round trip. one could even delete two or three in a single submit |
|
| |
That sounds neat - no pop-ups, no undo history, but two separate clicks would guard against accidents (like the one I had yesterday). |
|
| |
I submit that, with the rise of the mobile Web, it's
high time to re-evaluate this proposition. It's just
too damn easy to fat-finger the delete link on a
phone. It makes it annoyingly difficult to use this
site when a simple attempt to scroll could result in
accidentally deleting an annotation. |
|
| |
Personally, I like the checkbox idea, except
checkboxes are sort of unaesthetic. Perhaps some
Javascript that changes the delete link into a
confirmation link the first time you click/tap it? |
|
| |
What [ytk] said. This is still a good idea. [+] |
|
| |
I'll try writing a userscript once I have less on my plate, if
nobody else does by then. |
