[Javascript] Using onSubmit

[pd]

I found the answer to this.

<script>
function confirm_update(msg){
    return(confirm(msg)?true:false);
</script>

   <FORM ACTION="tst2.html" method=post 
onsubmit="return(confirm_update('Are you sure'?))">
   <input type="text" name="testfld">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" >
</form>

Thanks,

Paul
