You are recursively calling confirm() and it's in an infinite loop

You have a * at the beginning and end of the document

As kennebec pointed out, you're overwriting window.confirm

You have a hanging end </div> in the <body>

   <head>

      <script type=text/javascript>

         function show_confirm() {

            var r = confirm(Press the button);

            if (r == true) {

               alert(You are right);

            } else {

               alert(You are wrong);

            }

         }
