Yes/No for a form button

[ofcalcul]

I have a form button in a webpage for deleting records in a database. For this I need the user confirmation like "Are you sure you want to delete the record?" Yes/No.
Can you help me?

Use the JavaScript "confirm" function:

var retVal = window.confirm('Do you want to delete this?');
alert(retVal);

It will return true if "OK" is clicked, false otherwise.

Hope this helps,
Dan

addendum:

do not rely solely on javascript for this. if i were you, i'd do another check server-side to make sure the user wants to do this. maybe an in-between page, because if i disable javascript, then click the delete link, i won't be asked if i'm sure.

Can you please give me an entire example? I am a newbie in javascript and don't know how to implement it in the HTML form.
Thank you.

This would work:

<form onsubmit="return(window.confirm('Do you want to delete this?'));">

The form will submit if you click "OK", and not otherwise.

Hope this helps,
Dan
