Create a JavaScript Confirmation Box
Written by David Walsh on December 28, 2007 · 6 Comments
Javascript confirmation boxes aren't used nearly as often as they used to be, mostly due to more advanced usages of JavaScript and modal boxes, but they are still helpful. Whenever I create administrative functionality for my customers, I always use a JavaScript confirmation box before executing any permanent action -- an example would be when a customer tries to delete a file.
The Code / Example
Delete File
The confirm method returns the true/false result of the confirm box.
it is really cool!
doesn’t work on FF. If you hit cancel still goes to the link

Try adding a ‘return false’ statement at the end.
eg. 1.
<a href="http://domain.com/admin/delete-file.php?file_id=4" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this file?'); return false;">Delete File</a>You rock! This is great, was just looking for a way to pass PHP variable to javascript but with this tutorial I don’t have to complicate things, the whole process becomes less cumbersome… Really great stuff man!!!
this helped me have an idea… thanks guys!!!..
var c=confirm(“Are u sure?”);
if(c== false)
{return false;}
else
return true;
