Hi all,

So I'm trying to do something rather simple, but having difficulty
accomplishing it. I'm basically giving the user an option to delete a
row from a table within a div, using something similar to this on the
server-side:

        if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { exit; }
        
        $html = '<table>';
        $html .= '<tr>';
                // count here basically just keeps track of a
                // neatly aligned table
                $count=0;
            foreach($alpha_notes as $note) {
                $html .= "<td><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\"
onclick=\"removeNote('".$note[ID]."','".$note[NAME]."')\">delete</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;$note[NAME]</td>";
                $count++;
                if(($count % 2 == 0)) {
                        $html .= "</tr><tr>";
                }
                }
        $html .= '</tr></table>';

My issue is, if the user has deleted their 'last' available row, I
want something to come up such as  "This table has no more information
left." I tried doing that with the following:

function removeNote(id,name) {
        if(confirm("Are you sure you wish to delete: "+name+"?")) {
                // ajax code here to remove note.
                $.ajax({
                  url: "/dbserver.php",
                  type: "POST",
                  data: "delete="+id+"&db=alpha",
                  cache: false,
                  success: function(html) {
                        if(html==="FALSE") {
                                $("alpha_notes").empty().insert("There are no 
notes left in alpha.");
                        } else {
                    $("#alpha_notes").empty().append(html);
                        }
                  }
                });
        }
}

Any idea where I went wrong here? I'm assuming it's causing I'm
returning a data type of HTML so my if() construct here doesn't
logically make sense.
