How to show a confirm message before delete

Question

I want to get a confirm message on clicking delete  this maybe a button or an image   If the user selects  Ok  then delete is done  else if  Cancel  is clicked nothing happens    I tried echoing this when the button was clicked  but echoing stuff makes my input boxes and text boxes lose their styles and design
