if (window.confirm('do you want to run the script?') ) {");

print("} 
</Script>");
return;

but that did not work

I believe you can use the built-in alert() function available from the SystemEvent class that represents each event for outputting js warnings...

<?php
//... stuff here
$msg = 'Some string...';
$modx->event->alert($msg);
//... more stuff here
?>

but it does not do confirm dialogs.

Are you trying to do this in events within the manager or on the front-end?

in the manager I Made a plugin than sends out a mail when a document is saved. and it would be nice to have an option to choose if you wand this mail to be send out.

now I used a tv, when checkbox is selected then the mail wil be send out if not then no mail and the checkbox wil be cleared after saving. this works ok but could easely be forgotten.
