onclick does not work with reset?

[chirs]

Hi,

In a website

http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/evhan_onclick.html

it says:

The following example shows the use of the onClick event handler to
offer users the chance to cancel the resetting of a from when clicking
on a Reset button.

Code:
<INPUT TYPE="RESET" onClick="return confirm('Are you sure?')">

I added an input box with this code in a form. But the reset button
always clear input box. What's wrong?

Did you copy that code exactly, or did you forget the "return"?
What browser are you using for testing?

I expect you have a Javascript error. Turn error reporting on and tell
us what it says

A guess: Do you have any form controls, forms, or global variables
called "confirm"? If so, rename them.

You are right, I did not put return.
