how to pop a msg before going to href page?

[wvdba]

hi,
i have this code:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
function go_there()
{
 var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to go to this page??");
 if (where_to== true)
 {
   window.location="admissionssummary.asp"; (this is in the href below)
 }
 else
 {
  window.location="the_cancel_page";
  }
}
//-->

</SCRIPT>

<a href="admissionssummary.asp?agency=<%Response.Write objSearch("agency")%>" onClick="go_there()"> </a>

basically when they click on the link (agency), i want to pop a message to confirm that they agree with the terms of use, with ok and cancel. if they press ok, to go to admissionssummary.asp.
thanks for any ideas.

Investigate "window.confirm".

Hope this helps,

actually, that doesn't give a clue with href. any suggestions on href and confirm?

i already figured it out. it's done by using
onclick="return function()"
here's the code for everyone's benefit:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
function go_there()
{
 var bok = true; 
 var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to go to this page??");
 
 if (where_to== true)
 {       
   bok = true; 
 }
 else 
 { 
   bok = false; 
 } 
 if (bok == true)
 { 
  return true;
 }
 else
 {
  return false;
 }
}
//-->

</SCRIPT>



<a href="admissionssummary.asp?agy=<%Response.Write objSearch("agency")%>" onClick="return go_there()"> </a>

cheers.
