Does anyone know how to add a confirmation dialog with an "actionlinkwithimage"?

A:
You can just add a javascript confirm to your ActionLink like:
<%=Html.ActionLink(a => a.ID, "Go", new { onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?');" })%
EDIT: Not sure if you need to know how to implement an ActionLink with an image but here is a helper function that can add an image to an ActionLink:
public static string ActionLinkImage(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper,
string imagePath, string altText, string actionName,
RouteValueDictionary routeValues, IDictionary<string, object> htmlAttributes)
{
string replaceText = "ActionLinkImageReplaceMe";
string linkHtml = System.Web.Mvc.Html.LinkExtensions.ActionLink(htmlHelper,
replaceText, actionName, routeValues,htmlAttributes);
return linkHtml.Replace(replaceText,
String.Format("<img src='{0}' alt='{1}'/>", imagePath, altText));
}

@ Kelsey -- how would I trigger a confirmation from server side? My "html.ActionLinkWithImage" calls an action from the controller, which I would like to have a confirmation before executing the code within the action. How would I go about this?

@hersh do you need to check something server side to do the confirmation? You could do an ajax post call to a confirmation action in your script and then prompt the `confirm` if necessary. If you want to stick to all server side call then you are going to need an intermediate step to do the server side confirm and display a view etc... then that page would post the completion. This is a bit more complicated because you need to store the posted data over this confirm page.
