Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / JavaScript / November 2007Basic questions about alert() and confirm()
I have some basic questions about alert() and confirm(): (1) Is it possible to customize the labels in the buttons, eg. put "Yes" instead of "OK"? (2) Is there a control over the text in the pop-up frame? I would like to get rid of "Windows Internet Explorer" (IE) or "The page at http://192.168.22.215:5555 says:" (Firefox) or replace it with something meaningfull. (BTW, the text in the frame in Firefox is not even true as the pop-up does not originate in the server but locally). I browsed through tens of sites but all I found is one-liners about both functions. Well... maybe that's all that it is there... > I have some basic questions about alert() and confirm(): > > (1) Is it possible to customize the labels in the buttons, eg. put > "Yes" instead of "OK"? Nope, thats not possible. > (2) Is there a control over the text in the pop-up frame?

That is not again possible (security reasons). It used to be possible with IE, not anymore. > (BTW, the text in the frame in Firefox is not even true as the pop-up > does not originate in the server but locally). > > I browsed through tens of sites but all I found is one-liners about > both functions. Well... maybe that's all that it is there... You might want to take a look at Javascript 'modal dialogs'. http://www.webreference.com/js/column90/ -- Kailash Nadh | http://kailashnadh.name > You might want to take a look at Javascript 'modal dialogs'. > http://www.webreference.com/js/column90/ Too bad it is for IE only... Even though that is not possible.... you can try this http://www.subimage.com/dhtml/subModal/ i used this thing so many places.... it works for everything... A little bit of modification to this script and you will get all teh controls you need...

That also does not degrade gracefully and so does not conform to accessibility guidelines and legislation. You are lucky if you get away with this. PointedEars  SignatureAnyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network. -- Tim Berners-Lee > I have some basic questions about alert() and confirm(): > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > I browsed through tens of sites but all I found is one-liners about > both functions. Well... maybe that's all that it is there... It is not possible in Javscript, but if you learn VBScript you will find that you can. You can also mix Javascript and VBScript to make a custom page although it is not recomended. |
