Confirmation on submit

alert, confirmation, javascript

Solution

Use JavaScript `confirm()` function.

<input type="submit" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?')">

If the user chooses Yes, it will return `true` and the button's default action (submitting the form) will continue as usual. But if the user chooses No, it will return `false` and the button's default action will be blocked.

Problem

I have a form that submits information to a database. How can I make it so that when I click the submit button, I get an alert that asks me if I really want to submit it and when I click "Yes" it continues and if I click "no" it does not submit the information.
