Do you have a button or textfield called the same as the function or a variable?

no, i have a link, and im sure that the link calls the function correctly, and that is the only link or any other object in mah page.
the confirm box DOES come up, but it doesnt work when i hit cancel.

The only problem I can see is that you're missing a closing brace for your function, but that's probably just a copy and paste error.

What exactly happens when you hit Cancel and what browser/platform are you testing it on?

If you are calling it in href=javascript:function() - try it in an onClick instead - I have had weird results when returning values from code called in this maner. Sometimes it will get written to the page.

Maybe try holding it's hand and adding if(!confirmation) - trivial I know - but it should be working?

Sorry ignore that - I pasted your code and it works perfectly. (?)

well, if i try it w/out my server, it opens the directory the file is in, inside the browser window. When i view the page in my server, then it just reloads the page....

btw, all the above results happen when i hit cancel.

when i hit ok, the same results apply.
