is it when you click the link that the object is deleted, cause when you click the link the submitForm(..) function is called... try instead:

Code:

function submitForm(location) {
 if(confirm(&quot;Do you want to delete ?&quot;))
 {
  document.form1.action = location;
  document.form1.submit();
 }

or something like that My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work

hi daka94, 801119 is correct: when u submit ur form just like this: form.submit() then it wont run onsubmit event handler.. i tryed ie5.0 & nc4.61..
use 801119's suggestion Victor

Try adding an onClick event to the link:

Code:

<a href=&quot;javascript:submitForm('Delete.jsp')&quot;><img
        src=&quot;delete.gif&quot; BORDER=&quot;0&quot; ALT=&quot;Delete&quot;
        WIDTH=&quot;100&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;32&quot; onClick=&quot;return confirmAction()&quot;></a>
