Here’s how you display a confirm box using JavaScript.

JavaScript has a function named ‘confirm()‘ which displays the confirm box.

var confirmResult = confirm(“Clicking OK will return true whereas clicking Cancel will return false”);

When you call a JavaScript function containing the above code, a confirm box with two options namely ‘OK’ and ‘CANCEL’ will be displayed. We make use of a variable ‘confirmResult’ to hold the value returned by the ‘confirm()’ function when the user presses ‘OK’ or ‘Cancel’.

A simple example below will make everything clear:

function testingConfirmBox()

{

var confirmBoxReturnValue = confirm(“Click any of the two buttons below and I’ll display an alert telling you the name of the button you clicked ”);

if(confirmBoxReturnValue == true)

{

alert(“You clicked ‘OK’ “);

}

else

{

alert(“You clicked ‘Cancel’ “);

}

}

Note: As far as I know, there is no way of changing the ‘OK’ ‘Cancel’ text to something like ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ unless you hack the browsers source code.
