Display Confirm Message box on delete row in a gridview

1. Here we have a function The 'ConfirmDelete()' which is executed each time a click event occurs on the page.
2. Then we use a logic that to find which element was clicked on i.s we append a word 'DELETE' to the ID of the control.
3.And finally check if the clicked element having ID is 'DELETED' , then the javascript function will be execute to ask the user about his/her confirmation.

JavaScript code:

function ConfirmDelete(e)
{
var targ;

if (!e)
{
var e = window.event;
}
targ = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement;

if (targ.nodeType == 3)
{
targ = targ.parentNode;
}

if (targ.id.toLowerCase().indexOf("delete") >= 0)
{
return confirm("Do you want to delete this item?");
}
routeEvent(e);
}
document.onclick = ConfirmDelete;

aspx code:

<asp:GridView RunAt="server" ID="gvTest" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton runat="server"
ID="DeleteMe" Text="Delete" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
