How-To jQuery alert boxes for beginner
<p>Apologies if this is overly basic, but I couldn't find much info with my searches.</p>

<p>I have a simple link: <code>&lt;a href="delete"&gt;delete&lt;/a&gt;</code>.</p>

<p>Clicking the link deletes an item from my database.</p>

<p>How do I make the link show a popup (JavaScript <code>alert</code> box?) with a message:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Are you sure? [Yes] [No]</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I'd like to use jQuery instead of inline JavaScript, if possible.</p>
