    Can we change the title of alert box displayed through Javascript?

    Hi All,

    Using javascript i am displaying an alert...
    Is there is a way to change the title of the alert box displayed
    through Javascript

    Here is my simple javascript code
    <script type = "text/javascript">
    alert('Hi All !!!')
    </script>

    When I run the above code I can see an alert box with the content "Hi
    All" ...
    But the title of the alert box displayed in firefox is "The page at
    http://localhost says"...


    Is there is a way to change this text to my own coustomized text..?

    Is there is any thing a client side programmer had got to do with this
    title text..?

    Is there is a way to change the cursor pointer to cursor hand when the
    user moves his pointer on the ok button on the alert box ..?

    Thanks in advance..

      No UA that I know of would allow that to be changed. It is an important
      part of the JavaScript security model.

      Again no.

      The alert box is not a Javascript function, it is provided by the hosting
      user agent. The hosting UA doesn't even have to display an 'OK' button
      and may, in fact, provide others. (IIRC, Opera offers a 'Stop running
      all javascript on this page' type option as well.)

              Use a popup DIV instead. You can make it say anything you like then.
              e.g.
              http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm
