User Dialog with JavaScript outside of IE

[LRSmith]

Hi everyone,

I am by no means a Javascript expert, I have software programming experience, but Javascript has never been a tool I've really sat down to try and learn...until now.

I have a program in Windows I am using that is suppose to support basic Javascript commands. However, this program is completely independent of any browser, so any HTML, IE, or Netscape commands/objects/functions are unavailable to me.

I have a list of JS commands written that will run in this program, but I am looking for a way to prompt the user as a way to pause between these commands. So far on the web the searches I've found all use window-browser functions to achieve this (alert, confirm, prompt, etc.). This "pause" doesn't have to be a dialog box - it can be anything as long as it requires some type of user interaction to proceed on to the next command.

Also - the program I am using does not seem to be able to incorporate functions from the Windows Script Host. I have written Javascript files using WScript objects that run fine from Windows Explorer, but they will not run within this program I am using.

Very frustrating - any pointers would very much be appreciated.

Maybe setTimeout() and some kind of keycode check to determine when a particular key(s) is pressed (to continue)?

Tricky to attempt a solution remotely

Cheers,
Jeff
