JavaScript delete or cancel

Question

Hello, I'm trying to create a alert box which prompts user whether to delete or cancel, when I'm clicking on delete button it is working fine but when I click cancel again my webpage is closed. Below is the enclosed function. Please help.

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
function go_there()
{
    var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to go to this page??");

    if (where_to== true)
    {
        //closes the page
    }
    else
    {
        //Cancel the page and do not close the page
    }
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Answer 1

In such cases the most common error might be that you would have omitted

return false

on clicking cancel, it should return false. This might be a plausible solution. In your case either give a return statement or define an empty function which does nothing.

{
    if (confirm("Do you really want to go to this page??")) {
        //closes the page
    } else
        return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
