prompt boxes

[nuno silva]

i'm new to javascript, and so I'd like to know if there's a way to make
a prompt box, that, instead of having "ok" "cancel" and a text box,
would just have buttons of "yes" "no".

Is there a method that can do it?

You are probably looking for the "confirm" function instead of "prompt".
You can not decide what text is on the buttons.

Re: prompt boxes

ok... I've done it. that's what I wanted. Now tell me something:

when I press ok button what result should go to a local variable?
i'm asking?
if (option == okbutton) do this ----> what should be the value instead
of okbutton?
else do that...

I am not sure I understand the question.

The way I use the confirm function is

if (confirm("Shoul d we go on?")) {
//do something on OK
} else {
//do something else on Cancel
}

The confirm function returns a boolean, either true or false,
depending on which button you pressed.
