hi folks.
is there a way to change the bgcolor of an alert, prompt, pop up window something like:
alert bgcolor=ffffff('note the background colour of this box')

of course it's not essentiall but it would be nice

ok, well the alert box is called as part of a form validation script from Dreamweaver.
so therefore it is the content of the dialog box which is of importance. Opening a new window is not an option if i am to 'alert' the viewer to the error message onClick or onBlur.

aha.. the real question is how to make an alert box. am i talking visual basic or something

I don't know i'm lost... [:-(

An alert box is actually something called a modal dialog box that is generated by the OS. You can't change the look or behavior of one. They are intended to halt any program execution in the active window until a response to them is made by the user. They are designed to be consistent looking so there is no mistake as to their function and importance.
