Jacob,

Cancel button click causes the confirm dialog to close with return value
false. All this is taking place on client-side. You will need to communicate
an info to the server side. Most standard way of doing this is using hidden
input elements. You can cause the page to postback from JavaScript by
calling the form's submit() method.

on client:
if(!confirm("...")){
myForm..value="CANCELED";
myForm.submit();
}

in .aspx file:
<input type=hidden id=inhMessage runat=server>

in the code-behind (c#):
in the Page_Load event:
if (IsPostBack())
{
if (this.inhMessage.Value == CANCELED")
{
// do something
}
}
