you can try this:

$g_buttons[] = &
HTML_QuickForm::createElement('submit','
btnSubmit','Submit',
array('onclick'=>'return goConfirm(); '));

function goConfirm() {
var answer = confirm ("Are you sure it is OK to Delete?");
if (!answer)
window.location="menu_redirect.php";
return answer;
}

should work...
