JavaScript Form Submit - Confirm or Cancel Submission Dialog Box

Question

For a simple form with an alert that asks if fields were filled out correctly  I need a function that does this    Shows an alert box when button is clicked with two options    If  OK  is clicked  the form is submitted If cancel is clicked  the alert box closes and the form can be adjusted and resubmitted    I think a JavaScript confirm would work but I can t seem to figure out how   The code I have now is    x000D   x000D  function show alert     x000D    alert  xxxxxx    x000D    x000D   lt form gt  x000D     lt input type  image  src  xxx  border  0  name  submit  onclick  show alert     alt  PayPal - The safer  easier way to pay online   value  Submit  gt  x000D   lt  form gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
