Using the Confirm Box in JavaScript

Using the Confirm Box in JavaScript

The confirm box in JavaScript is an advanced form of an alert box. It is used to display messages as well as return a value (true or false). The confirm box displays a dialog box with two buttons, OK and Cancel. When the user clicks on the OK button, it returns true, and when the user clicks on the Cancel button, it returns false.

The confirm box enables you to interrupt the JavaScript processing to ask the user a question and then continue processing based on which button is clicked.

Demo

  1. Create a document named confirmBox.html.
