Hi John,
this simple bit of javascript works for me every time . . . 
In the head section . . .
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function delrec(id) {
cmsg = "¿Seguro que quiere borrar este archivo?\n"
if (confirm(cmsg)) {
window.location="anotherpage.asp?id=" + id;
}
}
// -->
</script>
Then form your links like . . .
<a href="javascript:delrec('<%=RS("productID")%>')">go to top</a>
I've also illustrated how you could change a Querystring parameter (like anotherpage.asp?rectodelete=45 for instance).
All the best
Vince
