Alert Button for delete record ASP

Question

Hello I have a delete record and have added a javascript
alert box. I have 2 options. The first is OK and the second is to
cancel. The problem is that I having trouble with the cancel part.
It deletes the record regardless. I tried to pass information such
as if they click cancel <% TH_Proceed = "" %> and in the
delete Dreamweaver code put an if statement to see if the
TH_Proceed <> "" to proceed.
It seems like once it is clicked the information from the
form to delete is passed and it forgets about what I try to send.
Sorry I am not to experienced with this.
Thanks for any help

<form, not </form
onSubmit = "return confirm_entry()"
If you don't return anything from the function call, the
submit will of
course go through since that's the default behavior.
The function itself must be altered, too. After your alert
saying the file
will be deleted, return true. After your alert saying the
file will not be
deleted, return false.
