Hi All,

I am just a beginner for javascript.
I do not know how to get yes and No buttons instead of OK and Cancel using javascript:confirm. Also if you could guide me with this.

On clicking Yes or No it should load a different url.

Hi!

Actually, you cannot change the confirm and its' "collegues" prompt and alert. You could use VBScript to do what you like, but it would only work in IE.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
IE4 = document.all;
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;
}
//-->
</script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
Function makeMsgBox(title,mess,icon,buts,defbut,mods)
butVal = buts + (icon*16) + (defbut*256) + (mods*4096)
makeMsgBox = MsgBox(mess,butVal,title)
End Function
-->
</SCRIPT>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showConfirm() {
myBooleanVariable = newConfirm(
'My Confirm Title',
'My Confirm Message',
2,0,0)
if (retVal==true) return true;
else{
location.href='blah2.htm';
return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="blah.htm" onClick="return showConfirm()">click</a>
</body>
</html>

This example would show "yes" and "no" buttons in IE and a normal confirm in other browsers.

If you want to play around with such stuff - here is a link to a code generator for that and even more stuff (like IE Box with more than two buttons etc.):

There are no options to customize the confirm box. Sorry.

I found several threads that create message boxes with a recurring suggestion of combining JS with VBScript for IE4+ browsers. Does VBScript have to be enabled in IE4+ (like JS), or is it always on?

Thanks!
