Javascript function confirm submit, not working

Hello all,

The following function is being called by a button ‘onclick’. However, it submit the ‘Form’ even if cancel is clicked!!!
What is the problem?

Kind regards

<button class="Part_SubmitBUTT" onclick="SubmitPArtesForm()">Are you sure you want to do this?</button>

-------------------------------------------------

function SubmitPArtesForm() {
if(confirm("Are you sure you want to do this?"))
document.getElementById("PartesPendingXX").submit();
else
return false;
}

quick try:

<button class="Part_SubmitBUTT" onclick="SubmitPArtesForm(this.form)">Are you sure you want to do this?</button>

Open in new window

function SubmitPArtesForm(frm) {
  if (confirm("Are you sure you want to do this?")) {
      frm.submit();
 }
}

Open in new window
