You can't change the look or behavior of one. They are intended to halt any program execution in the active window until a response to them is made by the user. They are designed to be consistent looking so there is no mistake as to their function and importance.</p> Thu, 18 Apr 2002 17:20:22 +0000 doublehelix comment 1107247 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/manipulating-prompt-and-alert-boxes#comment-1107238 <p>ok, well the alert box is called as part of a form validation script from Dreamweaver.<br /> 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.</p> <p>aha.. the real question is how to make an alert box. am i talking visual basic or something </p> <p>I don't know i'm lost...
