Why don't you create a separate function to be called when the button is clicked. In this new function, you first prompt the user with a question, and then depending on the response, handle accordingly.

This is really a poor separation of content and behavior. This would better be realized with unobtrusive JavaScript. Also, keep in mind that a "button" input type won't do anything for users with JavaScript disabled.

However, the quick and dirty approach:

<input type="button" name="Button" value="Sell"  
  onClick="function(){ 
    if (confirm('Are you sure you want to sell these shares?')) { 
      buy( 'txtHint1<?php echo $new_count;?>', 
         '<?=$row['company']?>',  
         qty.value,  
         '<?=$row['quantity']?>',  
         'sell',  
         '<?=$row['id']?>' ); 
      update('update'); 
    } 
  };"
