Alert / Prompt Style with Username / Password Login

[maxarbos]

hello,

I have a Javascript quesiton that has been buggin me for a few days now. If you can let me know if this is at least possbile, that would be great. thanks.

I would like to click on a button on page 1. that button causes an alert/prompt style box to come up with fields for username and password. ALONG with text clickable links in it and two buttons. One says "LogIn" and the other button says "Create an Account"

I would also like feed back from the log in to display in the box...

Is this possible to do?

Thank you.

You could do this with the box being a popup window that contains an HTML page with the relevant elements on it.

You cannot achieve this with a "real" popup (unless you count an IE-only modal dialog as real).

Hope this helps,
Dan

thanks for the reply.

i was aware of the html windows part, but the "designer" is insisting that this can be done....

can you explain why it is not possible to do in an "alert / prompt" style popup box... so i can pass along this information.

I would imagine that it has something to do with the way the browsers handel the alert / prompt popup boxes but just not sure exactly why.

......
unbelievable....
as i am writting this, I am getting an email from the "designer" that now is stating that they want it in a regular "html" popup window. ( i am sure they tried to dig a little to find if it is possible too and realized their mistake and now making it....forget it.... i hate people)

thanks for the reply.
have a better day then me.
