Hi All,
I'm having an issue with my Popup confirmation message box in my MVC project.
basically i have the following:

C#

//document.FileName is the file name i'm returning from the database
@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "DeleteDocument", "Document", new { id = document.Id, caseId = document.CaseId },
                                 new { onclick = "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this document'"+ document.FileName +"'?');", @class = "button small button alert"})

When i trigger the ActionLink above the popup confirmation box does not pop up at all.
but when i have the following :

C#

@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "DeleteDocument", "Document", new { id = document.Id, caseId = document.CaseId },
                                 new { onclick = "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this document'?');", @class = "button small button alert"})

without the document.FileName as a parameter the pop up box works.

What am i doing wrong?
could someone shed some light on this please.

What I have tried:

I have tried to google and move things around but still no luck and i'm kinda running out patience now

I don't think you need the single quotes around the double quotes on the file name.

Change this:

HTML

@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "DeleteDocument", "Document", 
    new { id = document.Id, caseId = document.CaseId },
    new { onclick = "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this document'"+
          document.FileName +"'?');", @class = "button small button alert"})

to this:
