javascript confirm box always return true

I'm working with java and using jstl in my jsp page. In my customer page, when I delete a customer, it will show a confirm box. But when I choose yes or no, it till delete this customer. This is my javascript code:

<a load-in="mainNotify" href='<c:url value="customer/delete?id=${ item.id }" />'
onclick="return confirm('Delete ?');">
<i class="icon-remove"></i></a>

How can I resolved this?

The problem is that you're still dealing with a click to an a element, and the browser behavior here is to navigate to the destination URL -- which in your case appears to be the delete action.

To prevent this, you need to cancel the click event if the user says "no" on the confirm. So something more like:

The JavaScript:

function onDelete() {
  if (!confirm('Delete?')) {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
}

The HTML:

<a load-in="mainNotify" href='<c:url value="customer/delete?id=${ item.id }" />' onclick="onDelete()">
<i class="icon-remove"></i></a>
