Confirm window in JavaScript

var my_string = confirm("Are you sure ?");

The confirm box will return TRUE if the OK button is clicked and it will return FALSE if cancel button is clicked.

This confirm window will have two buttons, one for OK and other for CANCEL. Visitor can click one if the two buttons and the user action can be captured by assigning this to a variable.

We check the return value by using if else condition checking

We can further improve this by linking the returned value of the confirm button to an alert window.

Confirmation is taken before a delete opration. Here the id of the record is submitted to a page ( redirected ) with additional parameters through query string based on the confirmation of the user.

<script> 
function show_confirm(c_id) { 
var my_string = confirm("Are you sure, want to delete ? ");
if(my_string){window.location="list.php?todo=del&c_id="+c_id;}
}
</script>

We can use the link to delete here.
