Warning message by Javascript

[klwong]

I would like to ask how to write a warning message by javascript:
for example, if the user wish to take some action, then a warning box (similar to alert) appears and said
(Continue? Yes / No). If the user choose yes, the action continues; otherwise, the action is cancelled.

Any suggestion? Thanks a lot.

This:

alert(window.confirm('Do you really want to do this?'));

will return true if "OK" is clicked, false otherwise.

Hope this helps,
Dan


The answers you get are only as good as the information you give!

BTW - you cannot change the OK / Cancel buttons to say Yes / No instead. You should either:

- reword your question so it is more appropriate for the buttons given,

- write your own DHTML 'alert' box, or

- look into the possibilities of using VBScript (I believe you can customize the buttons, although wouldn't swear to that). Of course, this would alienate any non-IE users (not a good thing unless you're on an intranet with a known browser-base).
