I am going to make a button to take an action and save the data into a database.
Once the user clicks on the button, I want a JavaScript alert to offer “yes” and “cancel” options. If the user selects “yes”, the data will be inserted into the database, otherwise no action will be taken.
How do I display such a dialog?

You’re probably looking for confirm()
, which displays a prompt and returns true
or false
based on what the user decided:
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to save this thing into the database?')) {
// Save it!
console.log('Thing was saved to the database.');
} else {
// Do nothing!
console.log('Thing was not saved to the database.');
}
