Well, I will be the lone wolf here I guess. The "standard Drupal" way is to use the delete_confirm dialog API, which you can find documented in http://api.drupal.org.

Both are working fine. But whenever I click on on edit or delete action action it opens in other window leaving current page. I want these actions to be taken place in pop-up window. My table on drupal screen is as follows SlNo Doctor Name Gender Status Action 2 Jayaram Srinivasan male inactive Edit |Delete 3 Pavithra M female active Edit |Delete 4 Ravi Mandayam male active Edit |Delete when i click delete button i should get pop-up window with the dialogue like this; Are You Sure You Want To Delete This Doctor?This action cannot be undone. Cancel When I click edit button I should get my edit form, First Name: Last Name: Gender: male female Status: active inactive Cancel complete code of my module file is as follows: <?php function doctor_menu() { $items = array(); $items['doctor'] = array( 'title' => t('Doctors'), 'page callback' =>'doctors_list', 'access arguments' => array('access doctor'), 'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, ); $items['doctor/delete/%doctor_user'] = array( 'title' => t('Delete doctor'), 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', 'page arguments' => array('doctor_delete_confirm', 2), 'access arguments' => array('access doctor'), 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK, ); $items['doctor/edit/%doctor_user'] = array( 'title' => t('Edit Form'), 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', 'page arguments' => array('doctor_edit_confirm', 2), 'access arguments' => array('access doctor'), 'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, ); return $items; } function doctors_list() { $header = array(t(Sl.No),t('Doctor Name'), t('Gender'), t('Status'), t('Action')); $query = "SELECT * FROM {doctor}"; $rs = db_query($query); $row = array(); if ($rs) { while ($data = db_fetch_object($rs)) { $doctorid = $data->doctorid; $gender = $data->gender; $status = $data->status ; $row[] = array($doctorid,stripslashes(ucwords($data->firstname)) .
