# Confirmations
Often you will want to confirm an action before issuing a request. htmx supports the [`hx-confirm`](https://four.htmx.org/reference/attributes/hx-confirm)
attribute, which allows you to confirm an action using a simple javascript dialog:
```html
<button hx-delete="/account" hx-confirm="Are you sure you wish to delete your account?">
Delete My Account
</button>
```
`hx-confirm` may also contain JavaScript by using the `js:` or `javascript:` prefix. In this case
the JavaScript will be evaluated and, if a promise is returned, it will wait until the promise
resolves with a `true` value to continue
```html
<script>
async function swalConfirm() {
let result = await Swal.fire({
title: "Are you sure?",
text: "You won't be able to revert this!",
icon: "warning",
showCancelButton: true,
confirmButtonColor: "#3085d6",
cancelButtonColor: "#d33",
confirmButtonText: "Yes, delete it!"
})
return result.isConfirmed
}
</script>
<button hx-delete="/account" hx-confirm="js:swalConfirm()">
Delete My Account
</button>
```
