Confirm before saving

Hello,

I'm new to Apex, I'd like to know how can we have a user confirm Yes/No and save the record based on user input.

e.g.

User creates new contact and clicks save, if there is another contact with the same email address we'd want a confirmation box to pop up and say that this is a duplicate if they'd still like to continue.
If the user clicks yes, the contact is created/saved. If the user clicks no the record is not save.

<apex:commandButton value="Remove All" action="{!removeAll}" rerender="form"
     status="LoadingStatus" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?');"/>

<apex:actionFunction action="{!removeAll}" name="removeAll" rerender="form" status="LoadingStatus"/>
<script>
function confirmRemoveAll() {
    if(confirm('Are you sure?')) {
        removeAll();
        return false;
    }
    return false;
}
</script>
<apex:commandButton value="Remove All" onclick="return confirmRemoveAll();"/>

Apex code executes at server, not at client so showing dialog boxes cannot happen from Apex. For that reason you will either have to move the validation to the client (using javascript onclick handler) or you will have to split the saving process in two Ajax calls to server, one to validate the other to save and then use the intermediary validation result to optionally show dialog box. The choice depends on the complexity of the validation (validateSearchItems)

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery.noConflict();

    jQuery(document).ready(function() {

        jQuery('.saveAction').click(function(e) {
            if ( confirm('Are you sure you want to save? Click OK to continue saving.') ) {
                return true;
            }
            e.preventDefault();
        });
    });
</script>

<!-- somewhere on your page is your button -->
<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" styleClass="saveAction"/>

document.getElementsByName('inlineEditSave')[0].onclick = function(){
if(accstatus.value=='Locked'){
   var userchoice =confirm('Are you sure you want to lock the Account?');
   if(userchoice){sfdcPage.save(); return userchoice;}
   else{sfdcPage.revert(); return userchoice;}
}
else{sfdcPage.save(); return userchoice;}
};
