cfmessagebox

i trying use cfmessage box confirm prior deleting record.  have delete button diplaying fessage box using onclick.  problem having cfmessagebox pop's up, record gets deleted anyway , cfmessagebox goes away.  basically, form getting submitted regardless.  thinking doing wrong here, can point me in right direction.  below come code snippets:

 

cfmessagebox code:

<cfmessagebox type="confirm" name="confirmdelete" title="delete employee?"

     message="are sure want delete employee?"

     buttontype="yesno" icon="warning" labelyes="yes" labelno="no">

 

 

button code:            

<button type="submit" id="delete_button" name="delete_button" onclick="javascript:coldfusion.messagebox.show('confirmdelete');">delete</button>

 

i pretty sure should change button type "button" rather submit.  then, use calbackhandler submit form.  however, once form submitted, check button pressed using:

<cfif isdefined("form.delete_button")>

i need submit form using javascript, make sure, after form submitted, make sure above if statement true.

 

any ideas on doing wrong?  or, better ways this?

i think might have answered own question.  changing input submit button should resolve issue.  submit button processing form, regardless of happens in cfmessage.  using javascript submit form (imho) best.
