This worked for me.  Modify for your own field id's and change the [Record ID#] to your [Task ID#]

"javascript:if(confirm ('Are You Sure You Want To Close This Task?')){location.assign('/db/" & Dbid()
& "?act=API_EditRecord&apptoken=bufgudqbtmxg26x78tdv7966f3"
& "&rid=" & [Record ID#]
& "&_fid_63=Completed"
& "&_fid_64=" & URLEncode(Today())

& "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#]))

&"')}"

Thank you,

    I have no idea, but it seems overkill to me.  The user will land back on the record where they see the result of their click with the fields updated.  If you want to fancy it up, you can have a rich text formula field to display a check mark icon

        Ok. Let me know if you get stuck on making the formula for the icon.
