In my jQuery am displaying my results in a table formatted output, a part of my jQuery is

<td class='close' onclick='deleteItem(#ITEMID,#ITEMNAME)'></td>
here "close" is a CSS class and in this class I have cross mark image, if I click this cross mark the function(deleteItem) will be fired.
here what I want to do is if I click this cross mark a "delete confirmation box" should pop up and if I click yes this onclick event should fire, else if I click No nothing should happen.
How can I achieve this, can anyone help me....
                This works, however it should be noted that this is not jQuery-specific and is just vanilla JavaScript.

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".del").click(function(){
    if (!confirm("Do you want to delete")){
      return false;
$('.close').click(function(){
var checkstr =  confirm('are you sure you want to delete this?');
if(checkstr == true){
  // do your code
}else{
return false;
function deleteItem(){
    var checkstr =  confirm('are you sure you want to delete this?');
    if(checkstr == true){
      // do your code
    }else{
    return false;
This may work for you..
Thanks.
$("a.removeRecord").live("click",function(event){
   event.stopPropagation();
   if(confirm("Do you want to delete?")) {
    this.click;
       alert("Ok");
       alert("Cancel");
   event.preventDefault();
    return confirm('Are You Sure ?')
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<td class='close'></td>
