remove focus from alert ok button

[theoryofben]

Hello

I'm not great with javascript, so I don't know if this is even possible.

I have a page that accepts barcode scans. If the item has already been scanned, I fire an alert telling the user.

The problem is that the barcode scanner sends an enter command after each scan. If the user does not see the alert and scans another item, it will dismiss the alert.

Is there a way to disable focus on the ok button?

Thanks.

No. If this is an IE-only site, you could define your own popup using showModalDialog().

for(ring=0;ring<rosie;ring++){pocket[ring]='posie';ashes*=2;fall--}

What about having the page continue processing until it received an enter command? Then you know its finished processing, then can display the message to the user?

Just a thought

Thanks guys. This is for our intranet, so it will be IE6, I'll try showmodaldialog
