I have use the iframe with Colorbox, After click the link , i would to popup a confirm box like the code:

function chkDel(){ 
if(!confirm("delete?")){
//how to stay in the current state? 
//and do not run the delete page
}
}

Answer 1

Return false if the user cancels. Returning false will prevent the execution.

function chkDel(){ 
    if(!confirm("delete?")){
        return false;
    }
}

You can even do it in one line inside the onClick attribute.

onClick="return confirm('Are you sure about deleting this?');"
