Hi-
Find the <FORM> tag in your code.
e.g. <FORM ACTION=3D"doStuff" METHOD=3D"POST">
Add an onSubmit handler.
e.g. <FORM ACTION=3D"doStuff" METHOD=3D"POST" onSubmit=3D"confirm('Do =
you=20
*really* want to do that?')">
If the user hits "OK", the form will be submitted. If they hit "Cancel",=20=

the browser will not submit the form. Keep in mind that if the user=20
isn't using a JavaScript-compatible browser, they won't see anything.
HTH,
