Example
Listing 23-4 demonstrates one way to prevent accidental form resets or submissions.
Using standard Reset and Submit buttons as interface elements, the
object definition includes both event handlers. Each event handler calls its own
function that offers a choice for users. Notice how each event handler includes the
word return and takes advantage of the Boolean values that come back from the
confirm() method dialog boxes in both functions.
