@Tutorial City and Ida: Yes, you should do much better than this. You shouldn’t write js directly in your markup like this, what you should do is to separate your code into different layers and place your js in the behaviour-layer. This short example just describes the basic principles of how you can use the confirm box. I guess the most of you would use a few lines of jQuery to take care of this today. You can find out more on how to do this here http://docs.jquery.com/Events/click#fn

@Tutorial City: True. As Simon says it’s quick and easy but imho you could and should do much better than this. Let’s put it up on the list of “posts-in-need-of-improvement”.

if you plan to use this functionality on several links It’s a good idea to create a javascript function to be called when a link is clicked.

@mikwiat I agree but it’s a quick and easy way =) I will consider to write a more slick solution when I have the time.

Nice, but too much “in your face” in my opinion
