The "if" statement isn't a function, and event handlers like onSubmit
don't require the javascript: prefix. I.e. onsubmit="if (confirm('are
you sure?')==true) { return function2(); } else { return false; }"
also works. I try to include the == true with javascript because js is
known to treat non-boolean values as true when a comparison operator
and value aren't provided, i.e. if (window) is a true condition. It's
probably no big deal, it just makes me a bit leary about not
explicitly declaring the comparison with javascript. I also don't use
the "if (window)" syntax to determine if a variable is defined, I use
"if (typeof window != 'undefined')".
