Confirm box not functioning

[firsttube]

I have a web page that when it loads a confirm box opens likes this:

var agree = confirm("This is the confirm text.");
if (agree)
		{
			return true;
		} else {
			window.location.href = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com";[/URL]
		}

The problem is, that on one person's computer, when the page loads the confirm box does not pop up and it automatically goes to the location.href redirection.

Could the browser be remember this person'a answer and just going to the "Else" line? I'm not sure how it is possible that this only happens on one user's computer.

I'd say that person probably has some option enabled somewhere (whether in their browser, in their OS, an accessiblity add-on, or other 3rd-party add-on) that either "auto accepts" certain dialogs, or prevents them from appearing in the first place.

If they had JS disabled, they wouldn't see it, but neither would the redirection work.

Hope this helps,

is there any way to detect whether they have javascript enabled or not?

Using a noscript tag. But as I've explained, that cannot be the problem.
