javascript confirm function return false

Question

I want to show a message which writing are you sure … I can show the message but user click NO `return false;` did not work ``` ``` I call function with onclick here ``` echo 'Sil Düzenle'; ```

Accepted Answer

You need to use the return value:

```
<a onclick="return askCar();" ... >
```

Just having it inside the `onclick` will execute the function but to actually cancel the click, you need to use the return value.

Also, the code can be slightly optimized:

```
function askCar(){
    return confirm ("Are you sure for deleting car ?");
}
```

No need in `if..else` when you can directly return the dialog result. (unless of course you want to perform exra actions)
