can JavaScript being called from a link

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a JavaScript function being called from a link?

I have a delete page, the user types in a word to be deleted form the oracle database. The page then displays the record as a link. The user clicks the link and the record is deleted. I want to have an alert "Are you sure you want to delete?" when the user clicks on the link. Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks,

Amisima

Thank you for your guick response.
I tryed to add the on click to my link but I got errors. This is my link with out the on click

<%Response.Write ("<a href=""CATS_Term_Record_Deleted.asp?ID_no=" & rs("term_ID") & """>")%>
        <td><b>{EN}</b></td>
        <td><b><%Response.Write (rs("title")) %></b></td>

this is what I have tryed
<%Response.Write ("<a href=""CATS_Term_Record_Deleted.asp?ID_no=" & rs("term_ID") & onClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?')"""">")%>

this is my result with the on click

False ' {EN} test
