Safari on iOS creates two confirm() boxes - Orgy - Jan 10, 2014

I'm trying to figure out how to solve it.

I came across this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11546344/266542

Seems pretty simple for an alert() box, but how would I return the value of the confirm to the function that calls the setTimeout()?

Declare the variable prior to the anonymous function.

Code
var userInput = false;

setTimeout(function () {
  userInput = confirm('Some prompt message');
}, 300);

Proof of concept:

Ah hello Disease. I think I tried that at some point and it didn't work for some reason. I don't know. This code I've been fixing up is so terrible.

I'll try this out in a moment to see if it does indeed fix the bug.

Is there any other way to return it other than setting a variable above it's scope?
