# Bypassing Confirmation Boxes in Transaction Script

During a web transaction, certain scripted commands may generate a prompt requiring an action by the user. If the user does not make a selection within the prompt, the transaction flow cannot proceed. An example of this is when a user removes an item from a shopping cart on an e-commerce website, and is prompted to confirm that they want to remove the item. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/cb4af8f9-6751-4fd2-b39c-07aae832badb/Images/Documentation/360000500752-mceclip2.png)

When creating a script where the user must interact with a dialog box, include the following JavaScript code **before** the code which generates the prompt. This will automatically bypass the confirmation box.

```
window.confirm = function() {
    return true;
}
```

The code will set the window to automatically return true for confirmation boxes. In the example from the above screenshot, this is the equivalent of the user clicking on **OK**.

You can also perform the opposite. Use the following function to effectively select **Cancel** in the dialog box:

```
window.confirm = function() {
    return false;
}
```

Add this code to your script with the [runScript](https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/transaction-commands-and-macros#runscript) command:

`runScript(window.confirm=function(){return true;})`
