Re: Confirmation Requester

I Just wrote a page that does basic file management. For the Delete part I used <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function confirmSubmit() { var agree=confirm("Deleted Files Cannot Be Recovered. Are You Sure?"); if (agree) return true ; else return false ; } </script> In my <Head> and <Input Type=submit name=submit Value="Delete" onClick="return confirmSubmit()"> In my form. I think that should do what you want.
