I'm quite certain it is impossible. It would be a nice feature however.

Sorry can't help you more than that. Gary

Hi, there's no way to do that. You may use the open method to create your own window:

open(URL, windowName, windowFeatures)

See:

ok, well the alert box is called as part of a form validation script from Dreamweaver.
so therefore it is the content of the dialog box which is of importance. Opening a new window is not an option if i am to 'alert' the viewer to the error message onClick or onBlur.

aha.. the real question is how to make an alert box. am i talking visual basic or something

I don't know i'm lost... [:-(

You can open the pop-up window with your alert message:

onClick="validation()"
. . .

function validation() {

//validation process
//
popup = window.open('','','width=200,height=150,left=300,top=100');
popup.document.open();
popup.document.write('<p>Alert message</p>');
popup.document.write('<input type=button value=&quot; OK &quot; onclick=&quot;window.close()&quot;>');
popup.document.close();
}
