JavaScript
dialog boxes
So, what the heck are
JavaScript dialog boxes? Well, they are interesting little
"pop-up" boxes that can be used to display a message, ask for
confirmation, user input etc. They're very easy to create, not to mention
cool!
Three types of dialog boxes
exist in JavaScript- alert, confirm, and prompt. I'll show you an example
of each:
| Alert:
<script>
alert("Welcome, my friend!")
</script>
|
|
| Confirm:
<script>
var answer=confirm("Jump to CNN?")
if (answer)
window.location="http://cnn.com"
</script>
|
|
| Prompt:
<script>
var answer=prompt("Please enter your
name")
alert("Hello "+answer)
</script>
|
|
All of the boxes allow you
to customize the message simply by entering in a different text inside the
function's parentheses. Go ahead, try it now on your web page!
