Umm... No. Why you should use this "JavaScript masturbation"? (sorry, thi=

much better to use a form in page from you want to delete something:=20
<form action=3Dconfirmator method=3Dpost>.=20

=2E..and a method "confirmator" with form you want to use for real delete=
=2E..:

<form action=3DdeleteReally method=3Dpost>
<input type=3Dhidden value=3D<dtml-var id>
<input type=3Dsubmit value=3D"Delete">
</form>
<form action=3Dindex_html method=3Dpost>
<input type=3Dsubmit value=3D"Cancel">
</form>

=2E..and a method "deleteReally" where you delete your document forewer, =
which=20
is actually delete method for any stuff you want and available only for v=
alid=20
users. Yes, user will load three pages, not two. Yes, user will wait for=20
page, if page will be bloated by not needed graphics and banners. Yes, us=
er=20
can "back". But this WILL work on ANY browser what is main goal, I think.=

P.S. Surely, this example is a _way_, not an implementation! ;-)
