Java Buzz Forum - How to use Javascript confirm dialogue box

Confirm dialogue box in java script used to display a message for an action weather its is required to perform or not.
JavaScript confirm dialogue box contains two buttons "Ok" and "Cancel".
If user clicks on OK button confirm dialogue box returns true. If user clicks on cancel button it returns false.
So based on the user entered option we can continue our program. So confirm dialogue box used to test an action is required or not from user.

Its not possible to change values of confirm dialogue box buttons from "Ok" and "Cancel"to "Yes" and "No".
We need to use custom popups or jquery popups to use "Yes" and "No".
var res= confirm("Are you sure to continue?");
