    Hi I have a link like 
    <a href="hj" onclick="return confirm(&quot;are you sure?&quot;);">hhhh</a>
    now when I press hhh a box will pop up to say

    are you sure?

    yes/no etc

    if I wanted to have the words
    Are you "Sure"?

    ie with the " included - how do I do this??
    I have tried " and this gives me a JS error
    I have tried \" and ditto

    any ideas??

    try using ' to quote your string instead of "

    change

    <a href="hj" onclick="return confirm("are you sure?";">hhhh</a>


    to

    <a href="hj" onclick="return confirm("are you sure?";">Are you "sure"?</a>

    worked for me

    You can use " inside of ' or ' inside of "

    So first thing is to change
    <a href="hj" onclick="return confirm("are you sure?");">hhhh</a>
    to
    <a href="hj" onclick='return confirm("are you sure?");'>hhhh</a>
    or
    <a href="hj" onclick="return confirm('are you sure?');">hhhh</a>

    but since you want to display are you "Sure"
    then you coule use the \" but this need to match the outer

    so your finnal code should be
    <a href="hj" onclick='return confirm("are you \"Sure\"?");'>hhhh</a>


    I hope this is clear :D

    You have th bracket and semicolons in the wrong places too. Why not use *SURE*?, it's punctuationally more correct (tho I'm not sure that word is grammatically correct :p)

    Try 
    </head><body><a href="hj" onclick='confirm("are you \"sure?\"");'>hhhh</a></body></html>

    ok so str8 spotted it already :)

    It is what it's.

    Have you written a confirm() function that returns true or false?

    Thanks str8away

    Ps I only used that code as an example, so grammer isn't an issue


    just one thing

    I actually used return confirm(&quot; ) rather than return confirm("
