Dear friends,

I have a typical problem, in a Book - Pure JavaScript, I read that window.promt('Message','Default Value') can be used to get user input, using JavaScript.

The problem that I am facing right now is, although it does everything as desired, but in the Input Box that is displayed, it also places an ugly statement : "JavaScript Prompt:" ahead of the Message that I want to display.

This is kind of annoying for any user input.

Please suggest me some alternative so that only the Message that I want to display is placed and the user Inputs the Value.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanx in Adance,
Vikas

as far as I'm a where you can not take out the
script Prompt:
in a prompt
that is the line you are refering to correct. You cannot mandate productivity, you must provide the tools to let people become their best.

I don't know how you did it, but in IE 6.0, this gives the desired effect:

<script>
<!--
function add(){
var pr=prompt(&quot;A Q.&quot;,&quot;The A.&quot;);
text1.value=pr;
}
//-->
</script>
<body onLoad=&quot;add();&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;text1&quot;>
</body>

print(&quot;Star&quot;);
}else{
print(&quot;Thanks.&quot;);
}

I think what was wanting to be taken out was the
_______________________________________________________
Explorer User Prompt
_______________________________________________________
Script Prompt


correct? I'm feeling alittle stupid if I missed that.[lol] You cannot mandate productivity, you must provide the tools to let people become their best.

Dear onpnt,

I am using IE 5. Actually when I used prompt, a text is displayed saying &quot;JavaScript Prompt:&quot; just above the message that I wanted to be displyed, so that the usr knows what I am asking for.
I guess we can' remove this info, so is there any other alternative ??
Or I should make a second form pop up ??

Thanx for your inputs,
Vikas

As I said before you can't get rid of that line of text. I know what your saying. your javascript prompt is the same as my script prompt. If you want to, you can create a popup with a form input to get your value but you're going thru alot jsut to get rid of that formatting. I never had a issue or my clients with the prompt text being there.
Just my thoughts though.

javascript does not leave much room to adjusting the formatting of the alert, comnfirm, and prompts. Other languages give you some leway but not here. You cannot mandate productivity, you must provide the tools to let people become their best.

Hi,
Sorry, I misunderstood the question. i thought you said that the script: was displaying in the text input.

You can change that with VBScript. I am pretty sure.

I can send you a link if you are interested.
