Um, in that code there is no need for a server-side check.

A non-JavaScript page may be needed for the merlyns of this world to access the page, but as it stands if the page comes back to the server then the user has already confirmed and you should do the action (assuming that the user is validated and all that).

In short the pop-up is a slight change for the user UI. If you don't have JavaScript then you don't get a chance to change your mind after hitting the big button.

PS I know how you feel about JavaScript. Doesn't change the fact that a lot of people are told to use it in a work situation. People are paid to program in VB as well.

EDIT
Apparently I misinterpeted some comments yesterday. Sorry about that. I *didn't* know how you feel.
