For some reason, whenever I try to cancel an event by returning false in
IE 5.5+, it doesn't work. I have to add a line like:
window.event.returnValue=false;
This is certainly the case when trying to cancel a submit button, and I
think it's true generally to cancel IE events.
In the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET documentation, I find this statement
relating to event.returnValue:
"The value of this property takes precedence over values returned by the
function, such as through a ... return statement."
Since the default returnValue is true, you HAVE to set it to false in
order to cancel an event!

Yup.
On the other hand, in order to make sure that script-disabled
browser still works, it's necessary to keep the submit button. So, she
could use the following line :
<input name=3D"submit" type=3D"submit" value=3D"Delete ID"
onclick=3D"return confirm('Permanently delete the ID?')" >
