Display a javascript alert box to your visitors
Posted by Andy Langton on Saturday, 10 February 2007
Javascripts allows you to popup a small box of text, rather like the error and information message boxes within windows.
Click here for an example alert
To make a link that pops up an alert, simply use the code below. Naturally, customise the alert message to suit your purposes. These types of links can be useful for warning a visitor before they visit a particular page, or to ensure they have read terms & conditions. This example uses the onclick event to invoke the alert.
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:alert('This is a what a javascript alert looks like')"> Click here for an example alert </a>
You can also popup an alert whenever a particular page loads, using the script below:
<script type="text/javascript"> alert ("This is a what a javascript alert looks like"); </script>
