I came across something the other day I was going to look at. On our program, if you are in the middle of editing your data, and go to click on a link that will take you away, currently we have an alert box pop up letting them know that all changes will be discarded.

Well we developed a layer to display instead, however, when that popped up you were still able to click on links. So we wtuck with the alert box.

I was getting my yahoo mail the other day, and I don't know exactly where, think it was if i selected all messages to delete, it popped up a custom looking message box, yet you couldn't click on the main window until that went away, so it acted like an alert box, but looked like a custom layer.

You may want to go look for this and check the code behind it. I plan to once we get to the list of "to do after launch"

dk01 is right. The alert box is actually a Windows pop-up window (if you're using Windows). Since it's not an HTML document, the font properties are controlled by Windows.

No. All fonts are controlled.
