Using jQuery, you'd do something like this:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-39261918-1">$('#save_to_excel').click(function(e) {
     if (!confirm(&quot;Are you sure?&quot;)) {
          //'Cancel' was clicked, so stop the link from being followed
          e.preventDefault();
     }
})</code></pre>
</div>
