Something like this would probably work out better. Inside the if (del) you could do whatever you want it to do when you delete. I just let the form continue submitting, but in your case it may be different. You could use Ajax or whatever you want in there.

 

On a side note, you shouldn't use $_GET parameters to delete anything. What if a spider comes and scans them links, wherever they're posted, or people trick each other into going to them. You should use $_POST.

 

Demo: http://xaotique.no-ip.org/tmp/38/

 

window.addEventListener('load', function()
{
window.document.querySelector("#myForm").addEventListener('submit', function(event)
{
	event.preventDefault();

	var del    = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this topic?") ? true : false;
	var status = del ? "You confirmed, thanks!" : "You cancelled the action.";

	window.document.querySelector("#status").innerHTML = status;

	if (del)
		window.document.querySelector("#myForm").submit();
}, false);
}, false);
