Is there an off-the-shelf way to produce a Yes/No dialog box to be displayed when the user tries to delete a record? Doesn't matter if the text is something different from Yes/No.

<a onclick="return confirm('do you really want to delete this?');"
href="....

The simplest way is to tie a javascript confirm to the form
<form onsubmit="return confirm('do you really want to delete
this?');".......>
You can use whatever message you like but the options (non-changeable) will
be OK or Cancel.

Should have said - that the deletion happens as a result of selecting a 'delete' link. There's no form involved.
