You would have to do your delete confirmation on a separate page without using javascript. Some people consider this the best option anyway because a few users have JavaScript disabled so the JavaScript delete confirmation would not work for them anyway.
Another idea would be to use DHTML so that when the delete link is clicked it is replaced with a Yes/No confirmation inline.

why not simply have
function confirmDelete()
{
return confirm("Are you sure you wish to delete this entry?");
}
or even
<a href="?action=delete&id=3" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this entry?');">
Delete this entry
</a>
function confirmDelete()
{
return confirm("Are you sure you wish to delete this entry?");
}
or even
<a href="?action=delete&id=3" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this entry?');">
Delete this entry
</a>

I like the idea of making the function shorter and I will update the article to do it that way. The second method that you mentioned is not as portable and it is more typing each time you need to confirm a deletion. Great ideas though! Thanks for stopping by the site!

This is exactly what i was looking for THANKS! Very elegant when applied, before i was using a delete confirm page, way too much overhead.

I have a Question. If we are given a constraint like, no alert boxes to be used in the application, what else could be the option other than having a check box like in the licence agreement options.
Thanks,
