Javascript h:commandButton issue.

Question

I am having an issue with the following JSF jsp which basically pops up an alert window to confirm deletion. Now the issue is once in a while the backing bean delete action is not called. This is not occuring all the time. Here is the jsp for the command button
<h:form>....
     <h:commandButton value="#{msgs['view.add.delete']}"
     action="#{DynamicEditBean.delete}" onclick="return window.confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this content?')"/>
</h:form>Am I doing something wrong here ? Any suggestions ?
Forgot to add that I am using the JSF runtime with IBM Rational App Developer 6.0.1.

No the CommandButton is part of a h:form (edit form) which has a delete button to delete the current record. The interesting part is that for all other value bindings the input field value attribute is not reset... e.g.
                  HtmlInputText iText = new HtmlInputText();
                  iText.setSize(Integer.parseInt(attrInfo.getMinValue()));
          iText.setMaxlength(attrInfo[i].getMaxValue());
          String bind = "#{DynamicEditBean.datafieldMap['" + fieldName+ "']}";
          iText.setValueBinding("value",app.createValueBinding(bind));
the html code on refresh of the page is <input id="viewPC_7_0_7K0_:_id0:ID77" type="text" name="viewPC_7_0_7K0_:_id0:ID77" value="gmail" maxlength="200" size="50" />
Just for the HtmlInputHidden value is reset.. <input id="viewPC_7_0_7K0_:_id0:IDHiddenRow" type="hidden" name="viewPC_7_0_7K0_:_id0:IDHiddenRow" />
Any ideas..
