Confirm Box not stopping controller action

Giving the user the option to see the rows returned from the search or not. If I hit Cancel, it still runs the controller code.

HTML:

   <td><input type="submit" name="SubmitSearch" id="search" value="Search" class="form-control alert-success" onclick="return rowcount()"  /></td>

Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">

function rowcount() {
    confirm("There are rows");
}

Controller:

 [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult OracleVerification(string company, string location, string product, string department)
    {

        List<OracleStringViewModel> oracleStringList = OracleStringRepository.GetOracleStrings(company, location, product, department);


        return View(oracleStringList.ToList());

    }

The construct confirm() returns true or false. You need to make use of it. You forgot to use the return keyword:

function rowcount() {
    return confirm("There are rows");
}

The problem here is, the confirm actually returns the boolean value from the user, but it goes nowhere. You need to return it back to the calling place, which is the input's onclick event.
