onSubmit doesn't work on the form

I'm making a page that retrieves coordinates from a database and shows them as markers on google maps. I have a submit button that lets you delete a selected marker. What I'm trying to do is add a warning before deleting, but it unfortunately doesn't work. I've tried with onSubmit and with onClick (which is probably wrong anyway). I've been searching for hours but nothing seems to work. I don't think the rest of the code is important, but I'll post it if needed. Any ideas? Here's the code of the form: 

echo '<form align="center" onSubmit="return confirm("Are you sure?")" class = "delete" id="delete_form" name = "marker_list2" action="delete_marker.php" method="post">';
            echo '<input type="submit" value="Delete" name="edit">';
        echo '</form>';

Looks like you've got conflicting double-quotes. Try replacing

onSubmit="return confirm("Are you sure?")"

with

onSubmit="return confirm(\'Are you sure?\')"

Make sure to escape the single quotes, because it is inside your PHP echo '...'
