confirmation box on span using jquery

Yes you can do it simply, using jquery code below

$(document).on('click', '.DeleteAction', function () {
           var c = confirm("Are you sure do you want to delete it");
           if (c == true) {
                //do something here
           }
            else
            {
             return false
            }

});

You can have this HTML

<span id="delete-button">Delete</span>

JS

<script>
$("#delBtn").click(function(){
    if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this?")){
        // do something here.
    }
    else{
        return false;
    }
});
</script>

This should work, thanks
