text formatting in alert

[jones]

hi all,

when using alert("foo"), can the font size, color, etc. of the text be changed? also, can the alert box size be defined?

No and yes...No if you want to stick with the JS alert method, yes if you want to create/open a modal window.. Several threads on this:
