Include the following scripts in the HEAD of your document (JS script must come first to set page script language default):
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
IE4 = document.all;
function newAlert(title,mess,icon,mods) {
(IE4) ? makeMsgBox(title,mess,icon,0,0,mods) : alert(mess);
}
function newConfirm(title,mess,icon,defbut,mods) {
if (IE4) {
icon = (icon==0) ? 0 : 2;
defbut = (defbut==0) ? 0 : 1;
retVal = makeMsgBox(title,mess,icon,4,defbut,mods);
retVal = (retVal==6);
}
else {
retVal = confirm(mess);
}
return retVal;
}
function newPrompt(title,mess,def) {
retVal = (IE4) ? makeInputBox(title,mess,def) : prompt(mess,def);
return retVal;
}
function IEBox(title,mess,icon,buts,defbut,mods) {
retVal = (IE4) ? makeMsgBox(title,mess,icon,buts,defbut,mods) : null;
return retVal;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript TYPE="text/vbscript">
<!--
Function makeMsgBox(title,mess,icon,buts,defbut,mods)
butVal = buts + (icon*16) + (defbut*256) + (mods*4096)
makeMsgBox = MsgBox(mess,butVal,title)
End Function
Function makeInputBox(title,pr,def)
makeInputBox = InputBox(pr,title,def)
End Function
-->
</SCRIPT>
Now, you can call the four JavaScript functions from anywhere in your page. Take care to pass the correct number of arguments:
newAlert(title,message,icon,modality)
string, string, 0-4, 0/1
example: newAlert("DHTML Lab","No confusing captions",4,0)
newConfirm(title,message,icon,default button,modality)
string, string, 0/1, 0/1, 0/1
example: newConfirm("DHTML Lab Confirmation Request","Are you confused yet?",1,1,0)
newPrompt(title,message,default response)
string, string, string
example: newPrompt("DHTML Lab User Input Request","Enter your name, please:","Ishmael")
IEBox(title,message,icon,button group,default button,modality)
string, string, 0-4, 0-5, 0-2, 0/1
example: IEBox("DHTML Lab Explorer Dialog","All options enabled",1,2,2,1)
