Rails spinoffs - Oct 2007 - Confirmation within a controller

I am trying to work on a problem that requires user to confirm with a
OK/Cancel option. The problem is I cannot make this determination
until after the controller action is called. What I would like to do
is the following.

a) Call controller/action
b) Make the determination whether the popup needs to be shown
c) Show the ok/cancel popup
d) If ok, proceed with the action, else return

I can do step C with page.call "confirm("Are you sure?")"
but I see no
way to get the return value to go to step D. I can see why this would
not work.

Are there any alternative implementation strategies?

I could take them to a different page and back here again but I was
hoping for a simple confirmation dialog.

Thanks for your feedback.
