How to create a custom “confirm” & pause js execution until user clicks button?

Question

Ok, I\'m doing a bunch of RIA/AJAX stuff and need to create a \"pretty\", custom confirm box which is a DIV (not the built-in javascript confirm). I\'m having trouble determ

The way how I did this:

1. Create your own confirm dialog box with buttons, let's say "Yes" and "No".
2. Create function that triggers the dialog box, let's say confirmBox(text, callback).
3. Bind events on "Yes" and "No" buttons - "Yes" - callback(true), "No" - callback(false).

4. When you are calling the function use this syntax:

   confirmBox("Are you sure", function(callback){
       if (callback) {
           // do something if user pressed yes
       } 
       else {
           // do something if user pressed no
       }
   });
