I am trying to add a javascript alert to my form, the problem I am having is that when the user clicks cancel, the form still gets submitted?.

In the head I have :

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function confirmDelete() {if(confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this category ?'))
alert('Category Deleted !');
else alert('Cancelled !')}
</script>
</head>

My link uses the following :

a onClick="confirmDelete()"

Im not sure why clicking cancel still submits it?, is it possible to show Cancelled ! for 2 seconds and then close also ?.

    You need to return the result from the confirm:

    function confirmDelete() {
    return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this category ?');
}


onClick="confirmDelete()"
