I'm trying to use this:

 $('#delete').live('click',function(){
                var result;
                bootbox.confirm("Are you sure?", function(response){
                        result=response;
                });
                alert(result);
                return result;
            });

But when the button is clicked:

Alert is shown first and only after that bootbox shows confirm dialog.

I want to return the response , but if i do it from within call back it doesn't work because it returns response from callback but not $('#devicedelete').live('click',function(){});

Btw i'm trying to submit a form basing on response. So if i return 'true' form will be submitted, else if it returns 'false', form wont be submitted.

Please check this:

I have one big table with checkboxes for each row, users select checkboxes and click on any of the buttons 'delete' , 'copy' etc and form should be submitted.

Thanks

The dialog is async, you can prevent the default action right away, and then call the submit if the user accepts. Here is an example: http://jsfiddle/ty5Wc/3/

$('#delete').on('click', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    bootbox.confirm("Are you sure?", function (response) {        
        if(response) {
            $('#form').submit();
        }
    });
});
$('#form').submit(function () {
    //do your validation or whatever you need to do before submit
});

Edit: After talking more with OP, he also wanted to pass button value in the query string, my solution for that is here: http://jsfiddle/ty5Wc/5/

$('#delete').on('click', function (e, confirmed) {
    if (!confirmed) {
        e.preventDefault();
        bootbox.confirm("Are you sure?", function (response) {
            if (response) {
                $('#delete').trigger('click', true);
            }
        });
    }
});
$('#form').submit(function (e) {
    //do your validation or whatever you need to do before submit
});
