[thelist] Simple JavaScript question

[Peter Small]

The function confirm() returns true if OK pressed. It returns false if
cancel is pressed.

Wouldn't the return have to be included in an if... then... conditional -
to direct the transfer to another URL only if true was returned by the
confirm() function?
