How to prompt the user with an inputbox in Javascript
2 new comments
Have a Javascript popup display Yes/ No instead of Confirm/ Cancel
56 comments. Current rating:

Question:
I need to ask my web site's user a Yes/ No question. Currently I use JavaScript's confirm() function.The return value is true (OK) or false (CANCEL).
The word CANCEL is misleading. I want to have the buttons say Yes/ No instead.
How can I do it?
Answer:
Many people will tell you it is not possible, and that is true for standard Javascript.However, I found the following which works at least in 32 bit Windows with IE (which often accounts for 95% of your site's users).
This solution uses vbscript's confirm() function.
No, it does not work in FireFox. FireFox will display Confirm/ Cancel.

<script language=javascript> /*@cc_on @*/ /*@if (@_win32 && @_jscript_version>=5) function window.confirm(str) { execScript('n = msgbox("'+str+'","4132")', "vbscript"); return(n == 6); } @end @*/ var r = confirm("Can you do it?"); alert(r); </script> | ||

Great help thanks.
> Is there a way to get it to work on an onClick vs. window load? Remove these lines: var r = confirm('Can you do it?'); alert(r); Use as: OnClick='confirm('Can you do it?');' Note that speach marks don't display in this posting. | ||

This code very nice.
Thanks a lot =) Add this in <Head> tag: <script language=javascript> /*@cc_on @*/ /*@if (@_win32 && @_jscript_version>=5) function window.confirm(str) { execScript('n = msgbox(''+str+'','4132')', 'vbscript'); return(n == 6); } @end @*/ </script> Any confirmation in same page, will appear with Yes/No button... Great !!  Keywords: | ||

But this code shows the title bar of the confirm dialog box 'VBSCRIPT: Confirm'. If I need to remove the 'VBSCRIPT' what do I need to do.
Please find the screen shot attached. | ||
