hi ravi,\
\
To open a [pop](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11768/magento-2-pop-ups-manager-a-great-solution-to-nail-every-sale-season) up message box, create a java-script function as shown below:\
\

```
<script type="text/javascript">        function openPopup() {            var answer = confirm("Are you sure");        }</script>
```

\
then call that function wherever you want. I call it on the click of hyperlink.\
\
<%: Html.ActionLink("Open Popup", "Index", "Home", new { id = "popup", onclick = "openPopup()" })%>\
\
you can modify your popup box with the help of java-script and css. Here I had simply given a demo.\
