confirm event within click event returned error

  $('#reset').click(function(){
    var confirm = confirm("This will reset everything, do you really want to continue?!");
if (confirm == true) {
    alert(); 
} 

  });

Any idea why above code doesn't work? I got an error of undefined is not a function.

You should try by changing the name of your variable "confirm" (var confirm). It is the keyword of javascript language.

Confirm is a function, please change the variable confirm in to something else.

var result = confirm("This will reset everything, do you really want to continue?!");

That's because after running this code once, confirm is not a function, but a boolean, in handler's function scope.

Change the local variable name to something else, like 'value' or 'confirmed'.

It is because of the local variable confirm.

Since you have declared a local variable with name confirm, when you use confirm() in your function it will have the value undefined as it is no longer referring to the global confirm function.

Just rename the variable and it should be fine.

$('#reset').click(function () {
    var value = confirm("This will reset everything, do you really want to continue?!");
    if (value == true) {
        alert();
    }
});
