    I have this function here that is run with the Onclick attribute for a html button. How do I insert a confirmation box before the fuction returns true. When the user click "OK" on the confirmation box the script needs to return true. It is a delete confirmation. Thanks!

    function validate()
    {


    if(document.form.user.value=="")
    {
    alert("Please Select the Recipient(s)");
    return false;
    }

    return true;
    }
