I dont use JavaScript for this as you cannot easily (as far as I know) modify the look and options of the dialog box. I prefer to use a separate section of my ASP page to act as a confirmation.

            Dim conf
            conf = Trim(Request.QueryString("conf"))
            If conf <> "yes" Then
                  %>
                        <h1 style="text-align:center;">Confirm deletion</h1>
                        <div id="dialog">
                              <p>Are you sure you wish to delete this PRODUCT from the database? This action cannot be undone !</p>
                              <div class="button" style="float:left;"><a href="manageproduct.asp?act=3&pid=<%=pid%>&conf=yes">Yes - Delete</a></div>
                              <div class="button" style="float:right;"><a href="/manageproduct.asp">No - Go back</a></div>
                        </div>
                  <%
                  Response.End
            ElseIf conf = "yes" Then
                  Con.Execute("DELETE FROM tbl_Product WHERE productID=" & pid)
                  %>
                  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=/admin/manageproduct.asp?msg=Product%20deleted">
                  <%
            End If

Something like that. this can be customised to show a record or the contents of the form and then it is simpkly amatter of clicking Confirm or Discard or whatever else you want to use.

If you need extra help with implementing this, just ask
