用confirm()拦截一个jQuery.ajax()调用

我有一个通过jQuery绑定到一个链接的ajax调用,我希望它被一个确认对话框拦截.但是,无论选择哪个选项(即使用户只是关闭对话框),ajax调用都会触发.

有没有办法让确认在同步上下文中工作？

HTML：

<a href="#" class="removeItem delete">remove</a>

jQuery的：

$('.delete').click(function () {
    confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?');
});


$('.removeItem').click(function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    $.ajax({
        url: 'myUrl',type: "POST",data: {
            // data stuff here
        },success: function () {
            // does some stuff here...
        }
    });
});

$('.removeItem').click(function (event) {
    if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?')) {
        $.ajax({
            url: 'myUrl',data: {
                // data stuff here
            },success: function () {
                // does some stuff here...
            }
        });
    }
});
