NewB - How are they creating this alert?

[qban21]

Hello,
I work for a financial institution and need to create a pop up that lets the member know they are leaving our site and that we are not responsible for the other web sites content. I like what this site has done, but am having trouble recreating it. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

On the left hand side click on anyone of the links under PARTNER LINKS and you will see what I am talking about. Thanks again!

well, this is how they are calling it:

<a onclick="return displayThirdPartyAlert(1,this);" ... href="[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ezcardinfo.com/">[/URL]

and this is the function's code:

function displayThirdPartyAlert(msg,lk){
//You may have up to 5 different messages: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
	var description = lk.innerHTML;

	if(description.indexOf('alt="') != -1){
	//alt tag description must be a least 2 words.
		var x = description.indexOf('alt="')+5;
		var temp = description.substring(x);
		description = temp.substring(0,temp.indexOf("\""));
	}
	//content creation
	var content = new Array();
    var index = 0;
	if(msg == 1){
		content[index++] = '<h1>Third Party Site Disclaimer</h1><br>By accessing the noted link you will be leaving our website and entering <strong>' +description+ '</strong> located at <strong>'+ lk.href +'</strong> which is hosted by another party.  Please be advised that you will no longer be subject to, or under the protection of, the privacy and security policies of our website. We encourage you to read and evaluate the privacy and security policies of <strong>' + description + '</strong> which you are entering, which may be different than those of our.';
	}
	else if(msg == 2){
		content[index++] = '<h1>Third Party Site Disclaimer</h1><br>By accessing the noted link you will be leaving our website and entering a third party site located at <strong>'+ lk.href +'</strong> which is hosted by another party.  Please be advised that you will no longer be subject to, or under the protection of, the privacy and security policies of our website. We encourage you to read and evaluate the privacy and security policies of the third party site which you are entering, which may be different than those of our.';
	}
	else{
	content[index++] = '<h1>Third Party Site Disclaimer</h1><br>By accessing the noted link you will be leaving Associated Credit Union\'s website and entering a website hosted by another party.

	}
	content[index++] = '<br><br><br>';
	content[index++] = '<div align="center"><a href="'+lk.href+'" target="_blank" onclick="document.getElementById(\'ex_dis\').style.visibility = \'hidden\'">Continue</a>&#160;&#160;<a href="javascript:void(\'0\');" onclick="document.getElementById(\'ex_dis\').style.visibility = \'hidden\'">Decline</a></div></div>';	
	document.getElementById("ex_dis").innerHTML = content.join("");
	document.getElementById("ex_dis").style.visibility = "visible";
	scrollTo(0,0);
	return false;
}

Thanks, cLFlaVA! Did you find the function within the source code or is the function code in it's own page? Thanks!
