Link With Confiramtion

[fvillena]

Hi Everyone

New to javascript and just need code that will produce an alert box when a user selects a link asking them to confirm that they want to go to that page.

It's important that the page they go to does not load before they confirm.

Much obliged

I believe you want something like this:

<a href="http://www.example.com" onclick="if (!confirm('Are you sure you want to go there?')) return false;">Go somewhere</a>

Thanks for taking the time to reply, that did the trick!

You can put that more simply as:

<a href="http://www.htmlgoodies.com/" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure? That\\'s a really bad site.')">HTML Goodies</a>
