Bold Text

[muru]

Hi,
I am trying to bold part of a text in my confirmation screen to be bold. I surfed the web and i tried using it but it just would't work. I don't know what I am doing wrong. below is my code.

window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;
function confirmExit()
{
if (needToConfirm)
var text = "This will end your current session.";
var textBold = text.bold();
return (textBold);
}

but all this does is return the string with a <b>....</b> in the confirmation screen. Instead I would like to be actually bold. What did I do wrong here?


thanks,
muru

you cannot change the text formatting in system dialogs such as alert(), confirm(), prompt() or the onbeforeunload dialog.

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); } finally { rtfm(); }

If you want to get creative, instead of using confirm you could create a window on the screen with your question and answer buttons. Use absolute positioning to place it on the page and change it's visibility when needed. Or use a layer and just bring it to the top.
