Struts2 / jQuery: resume href redirect after e.preventDefault ();

In my Struts2 application, I have several buttons that will remove items from the table. So far, so good. Now I'm trying to use jQuery to present users with a warning to confirm if they really want to remove the selected item. For this I mean that I believe this is the most obvious approach:

• The user clicks the "Delete" button;
• Show a warning to the user (it contains two links: one to cancel the delete action, and the other to confirm);

2.1. If the user clicks cancel, the warning just disappears;

     

2.2. If the user clicks confirm, the item is removed and then the warning disappears;

What I have so far:

JSP:

<table>
    <tr>
        [...]
        <td><a href="<s:url action="deleteexperiment"><s:param name="id"><s:property value="exp_id"/></s:param></s:url>" class="delete ink-button all-100">delete</a></td>
        [...]
    </tr>
</table>

<div id="confirm-delete" class="ink-alert basic" role="alert" style="display: none">
    <p class="quarter-bottom-padding"><b>Confirm delete:</b> Do you really want to delete this experiment?</p>
    <button id="no" class="ink-button all-20 red">Cancel</button>
    <button id="yes" class="ink-button all-20 green">Confirm</button>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function()
    {
        $('.delete').click(function(e)
        {
            e.preventDefault();
            $('#confirm-delete').show();

            $('#yes').click(function(event)
            {
                // resume e.preventDefault(), i.e., continue redirecting to the original href on the table above
                $('#confirm-delete').hide();
            });

            $('#no').click(function(event)
            {
                $('#confirm-delete').hide();
            });
        });
    });
</script>

      

        
        
        
      

    

I've tried like 20 different approaches (as far as trying to restore the original link behavior - commented line) with no luck. Note that the attribute href

contains Struts tags, so something window.location.href = "<s:url action="deleteexperiment"><s:param name="id"><s:property value="exp_id"/></s:param></s:url>";

doesn't seem to work because jQuery won't "know" what the ID is, I guess (it will redirect to http://localhost:8080/AppName/deleteexperiment.action?id=

, so the ID is empty). If it wasn't for the ability to pass the jQuery id when calling the function click()

, of course. Is it possible? What other options are left for me? Thank.
