Using alert/prompt field in postvars

Scope:
My php code generates a list of files, the links send a link to php with the request to rename the file.

HTML OUTPUT


<html>
<head>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function alertboxRename(FileNameOld)
{
var agree=confirm('Are you sure you want to rename the file "+FileNameOld+' ?');
if (agree)
return true ;
else
return false ;
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
filename1.txt <a href=?action=rename&file=filename1 onClick="return alertboxRename('filename1.txt')">rename</a>
filename2.txt <a href=?action=rename&file=filename2 onClick="return alertboxRename('filename2.txt')">rename</a>
filename3.txt <a href=?action=rename&file=filename3 onClick="return alertboxRename('filename3.txt')">rename</a>
</body>

What I would like is to have a prompt box instead of an alert box.
The prompt box shows the original filename and asks a new filename. All variables are then sent back to the script so I can catch them up in php.

Additionally it would be nice to have the original filename as value
in the promptbox for easy editing.

+--------------------------------+
| old filename: filename1.txt  |
|                |
| new filename:         |
| +-------------------+     |
| | filename1x.txt  |     |
| +-------------------+     |
|                |
| +----+  +--------+     |
| | OK |  | CANCEL |     |
| +----+  +--------+     |
+--------------------------------+

OK sends out the request "?action=rename&filenameold=filename1.txt&filenamenew=filename1x.txt"
CANCEL does nothing

Is a REQUEST the way to go, or is this more easy to implement using POST within a form? I could catch everything up in php which would load an additional form in a new page but I rather do it in javascript.

Any ideas are welcome.


<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="rename">
<input type="hidden" name="filenameold" value="filename1">
<input name="filenamenew" value="filename1.txt">
<input type="submit" value="Rename">
</form>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="rename">
<input type="hidden" name="filenameold" value="filename2">
<input name="filenamenew" value="filename2.txt">
<input type="submit" value="Rename">
</form>
