javascript popup alert on link click

Question

I need a javascript 'OK'/'Cancel' alert once I click on a link.

I have the alert code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var answer = confirm ("Please click on OK to continue.")
if (!answer)
window.location="http://www.continue.com"
// -->
</script>

But how do I make it so this only runs when clicking a certain link?

Answer 1

just make it function,

<script type="text/javascript">
function AlertIt() {
var answer = confirm ("Please click on OK to continue.")
if (answer)
window.location="http://www.continue.com";
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:AlertIt();">click me</a>
