Rails - Mar 2006 - JS validation on a form/submit tag? Like :condition=>...

Hallo -- is there a way anyone know of that I can add a :confirm clause 
to a form submit? Something like:
<%= submit_tag ''commit'', :confirm=>"are you
certain?" %>
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Cheers,
   doug.

My guess is that would need to go in the onclick handler for the form.

<form .... onclick="return confirm(''Are you
sure?'')">

Hi -- the way I did it was like this:
I created a helper method in ''application_helper.rb'':

  def confirm_submit_tag(value="submit", msg="Are you
sure?")
    "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"#{value}\"
onclick=\"return
confirm(''#{msg}'');\" />"
  end

& then, in the rhtml (inside the form), I can just use

  <%= confirm_submit_tag ''commit'', "This will commit
the changes you
made." %>

It works well in firefox & IE.
Cheers for the input!
   doug.
