Help with onclick event on Macintosh

Hi folks

Can somebody help with a problem I am having with onclick events.

If I set up a link link this:

<a href="#" onclick="if(confirm('Do you wish to
proceed?')){location.href='continue.html';}">conti nue</a>

The onclick works fine on my windows machine, but if the link is clicked on
a macintosh nothing happens after the message box that appears is clicked..
The message box closes and the script goes no further.

Does anyone know how to make this work on both machines? I don't want to
have to switch to using forms and buttons.

Thanks

Try
<a href="continue.html"
onclick="return confirm('Do you wish to continue?');">
though I have no Mac here now to test
