thnks

**sail3005** · Oct 8th, 2001, 04:51 PM

using javascript? what language?

**filburt1** · Oct 8th, 2001, 04:52 PM

Using Javascript you can't modify the existing message box. The only option I can think of is using window.open() to open a fake message box in a popup.

**tolisss** · Oct 8th, 2001, 04:53 PM

yes javascript but if i can't done with it i can use other lang too

**tolisss** · Oct 8th, 2001, 04:55 PM

but IE already has a window with a check box is the window that is displayed for security reasons and has a check box saying do not display that again how can i use that IE function it should exist a function for it am I wrong?

**sail3005** · Oct 8th, 2001, 05:08 PM

you can use VBScript. but that is IE only

**sail3005** · Oct 8th, 2001, 05:30 PM

i don't think you can add a checkbox to a messagebox

**tolisss** · Oct 8th, 2001, 05:34 PM

**filburt1** · Oct 8th, 2001, 05:40 PM

A MsgBox is a Message Box...

**tolisss** · Oct 8th, 2001, 05:43 PM

i do not know what i m saying wrong but i will say it again

i want to make a form like the one that msgbox function is displaying but also i want that form to have a checkbox can i do it i think i can but how

**filburt1** · Oct 8th, 2001, 05:58 PM

Well, Javascript isn't like VB in that there are forms or even controls. Rather there are elements in an HTML document.

The most you can do is have a popup of a premade fake messagebox (you can use document.write() to change the text)...

**sail3005** · Oct 8th, 2001, 05:59 PM

the only kind of message box, is MsgBox

**tolisss** · Oct 8th, 2001, 06:01 PM

i think its not i posted that a few messages above don't u aggre?

but IE already has a window with a check box is the window that is displayed for security reasons and has a check box saying do not display that again how can i use that IE function it should exist a function for it am I wrong?

No, you can't use it, that's built into the browser, not Javascript or VBScript.

**sail3005** · Oct 8th, 2001, 06:32 PM

ok, you said that you saw a popup box open talking about security reasons. well, that is built into the browser, that is not done using VBscript.

**filburt1** · Oct 8th, 2001, 07:08 PM

Here's a quick-and-dirty example I made:

Code:

<html>
<body bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
Would you like to save changes?<br><br>
<form name="msgbox">
<p align="right">
<input name="yes" type="button" value="Yes">&nbsp;
<input name="no" type="button" value="No">
</p>
<br><br>
  <input type="checkbox" name="dontaskagain" value="checkbox">
  Don't ask this question again 
</form>
</body>
</html>

You could pop up a window like that (not maximized or too large of course).

**tolisss** · Oct 8th, 2001, 07:11 PM

can i make that window modal?

**filburt1** · Oct 8th, 2001, 07:14 PM

Not using Javascript. You must understand that Javascript is not a programming language but rather a scripting language. VB is like a god to Javascript.

you can't really compare them

**filburt1** · Oct 8th, 2001, 07:31 PM

Well, Javascript is still a scripting language so it is severely limited...

**sail3005** · Oct 8th, 2001, 07:32 PM

yeah, but so are all scripting languages

**filburt1** · Oct 8th, 2001, 07:37 PM

True, even VBScript.

**sail3005** · Oct 8th, 2001, 08:10 PM

and JScript for that matter

tolisss, make up your mind. do you want a message box or a form. your first post you said you want a msgbox then you say you want a form. which is it??

if all you want is a form then you don't have to use javascript. you can just use plain html. but you can use javascript if you want.

what do you want that checkbox to do? if it is checked?

**sail3005** · Oct 9th, 2001, 03:34 PM

yeah dude, and don't yell at people if they are trying to help you, and you are the pne that is being unclear.

**rjlohan** · Oct 9th, 2001, 11:38 PM

This tolisss is a rude motherf*&^%.

Let him work it out himself.
