I want to confirm user before deleting a row from the table so here the anchor tag html code, which i am using

<a href="/Mpa/Orders/DeleteQuote/22" class="btn btn-danger">Delete Quote</a>

Now, how to show confirmation dialog box("Are you sure, you want to delete it?") using javascript -jquery or HTML, before taking the action of delete or calling back end, if user clicks on above anchor tag?

You can call Confirmation box by simply add onclick event handler in a href(anchor ), so your code will be something like this

<a href="/Mpa/Orders/DeleteQuote/22" class="btn btn-danger" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure, you want to delete it?')">Delete Quote</a>

If user clicks on "OK" then only href="url" will be called.

Confirm Using SweetAlert

swal("Click on either the button or outside the modal.")
.then((value) => {
  swal(`The returned value is: ${value}`);
});

You need to include these CDN links

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/sweetalert/2.1.2/sweetalert.min.js" ></script>

Here is the fiddle link answer's from the facebook group link

By Bogdan Suciu https://jsfiddle.net/nqkco3ov/3/

By Nicholas Rios https://jsfiddle.net/kqzq293s/

both links work as expected, but the second answer(by Nicholas Rios) is preferred so here the code for it

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr><th>Row1 <a class="delete" href="#">Delete row</a></th></tr>
    <tr><td>Row2 <a class="delete" href="#">Delete row</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td>Row3 <a class="delete" href="#">Delete row</a></td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Javascript:

function addListeners(){
	var links = document.querySelectorAll('.delete');

	for(i = 0; i < links.length; i++){
		var currentLink = links[i];
	  currentLink.addEventListener('click', clickHandler);
	}
}
function clickHandler(e){
	e.preventDefault();
  var elm = e.target;
  var confirmation = confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this row?');
  if(confirmation){
  	elm.parentElement.parentElement.remove();
    return true;
  }else{
  	return false;
  }
}
addListeners();

thanks

Another solution Using jQuery you can call confirm on anchor click like below

$('a').click(function(){
    return confirm('Are you sure want to continue?');
});

Using Javascript to show Confirmation on click on all anchor links of page.

var anchorLink = document.getElementById('checkConfirmation');


    anchorLink.onclick = function() {
        var check = confirm("Are you sure you want to leave?");
        if (check == true) {
            return true;
        }
        else {
            return false;
        }
    };

Considering HTML

<a href="https://qawithexperts.com" id="checkConfirmation">Navigate to other website</a>

fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/fvkago0n/

It will ask the user before redirecting to the website.
